Minnkota Ultrex pros/cons

[Tommy2268]

For those who have the ultrex, do you use spot lock all the time, or during high winds only?

depends on how I am fishing that day,i spotlock on bp if there is some wind,with ultrex the wind is your friend

While I don’t have the ultrex (I have the powerdrive v2 with iPilot, so it’s not the latest and greatest but it works the same in premise. I don’t use the spot lock a ton when I’m trolling, I use the autopilot feature more, but when I’m tightlining or casting to brushpiles I use it a whole lot. I promise you the iPilot is worth the money if you do any of those 3 things that most crappie fisherman do.

It's an apples to oranges comparison. As already said, many options with the ultrex make it a winner, but maybe not for everyone. An option would be to set up a quick change removable bracket and keep the option of the cable steer just in case.

? Ultrex is cable steer.
