[quote Gorgefanatic]I just bought the i pilot mainly for jigging lake trout.[/quote]
Me too. In fact, because I knew that I wouldn't be able to keep my little boat over the fish well enough to keep that precise presentation required for macks, I always resorted to using a guide to do the driving for me. As soon as I was introduced to the i-Pilot, I figured that just might be the silver bullet. So a couple years ago I went mack fishing with a friend that had just installed an i-Pilot. I was instantly impressed. We actually were catching fish without a guide! That did it. Within a month I upgraded from a 14 foot 15 hp tiller to a 17 foot 50 hp with a steering wheel AND an i-Pilot.

One clarification here: An i-Pilot isn't really the silver bullet that replaces a good mack guide. But it did help me a LOT. (That is, the i-Pilot AND six years of fishing under the tutorage of Jim Williams.)
