You’re there to fight the Muskie or Pike, not your foot pedal!

Momentary behaviour

Set the Low Range Throttle to Idle the trolling motor at a very slow speed, not enough to move the boat but, Don’t Stop The Prop! Now set the High Range Throttle for the amount of thrust you would need for the given wind, current or bump ahead speed you desire. Now you can run the trolling motor the same way you would in Momentary mode but without cavitation noise and without draining your trolling batteries. If you need to stop or go back to Momentary (On/Off) operation, just press the Re-Action® Mode Switch on the foot pedal and you’re there.

Slow Crawl Like A Hand Held

The quietest way to fish for Muskie or Pike is a slow crawl, casting along a shoreline, weed bed or structure. Set the Low Range Throttle to a slow crawl for casting along weed beds, structure or shoreline. No need to stay on the foot pedal, get both feet on the deck for better balance. In Re-action® Mode, you can set the High range throttle to the desired amount of thrust required to bump ahead, fight wind gusts or river current and when you need more power, just press and hold the foot pedal Tap Switch for an instant increase in thrust. When you let off the Tap Switch, the trolling motor returns to the Low Range Throttle setting. Stay focused, every cast is an opportunity, don’t waste it struggling with boat control.

Trolling Like A Handheld

Trolling with crank baits and spoons, while running patterns or structure is tough enough in calm conditions. Add in the wind and river current and how much time are you really focused on your line? Now you can set your Low Range Throttle for the desired trolling speed. Now set the High Range Throttle for the desired amount of additional thrust required to fight the wind or river currents or to bump ahead. When the wind or current try to force the boat out of position, just press the foot pedal Tap Switch for an instant increase in thrust and your back on track and your lines are where you want them. No worries and no loss of focus. Now you can run the trolling motor and you can stay focused on fishing.

Current/River Fishing

Fishing on rivers is easy when you set the Low Range Throttle for the slow slipping, holding or desired crawl ahead speed. Now to fight wind gusts or current grab on the bow of the boat, set the High Range Throttle for the amount of additional thrust required to compensate for the opposing forces. When the wind gust or current try to force the boat out of position, just press the foot pedal Tap Switch for an instant increase in Thrust. No more distracting throttling up and down, just hit the foot pedal Tap Switch and the boat gets back on course, without distraction. Stay focused on the fish now that boat control is a reflex not a battle. Remember, you’re there to fight the Muskie or Pike, not your foot pedal.
