Very bad video. Let's start @0:31-- Learn how to handle a fish without busting its jaw, dude! Never ever supposed to hold them sideways by their jaw! Not ever. 1:03, another bass held sideways. 5:36 another fish held sideways. 5:06, another bass held sideways!! Fish are not supposed to be held sideways (fact check me, it's fact not opinion) 0:31 Trolling motor's going to stir up mud when the prop is nearly touching the bottom... 2 foot or shallower most likely. "That's Raptor time" or whatever was said is irrelevant because they're what 10 footers, advertised for 1' of water? 1:51 "In about 4 1/2' of water". To all viewers: You're not going to swirl up any mud in 4' of water. Total lies by the guy on the boat. 3:20 "Spot Lock keeps me exactly where I'm at" is misleading & far from reality. Reality check: A spot lock will keep you within a few feet AND the boat will spin as needed. Try this next to a boat dock on a breezy to windy day. Spot Lock works best when wind directions are not changing at all. This entire video was filmed on water that is glass. Spot Lock's benefits are pretty much lost when the water is glass, like this entire video was filmed on. Spot Lock will let a boat swing sideways adjusting for the wind or current, far from keeping any boat "exactly where I'm at" as spoken in the vid; he is misleading. 4:50 I absolutely agree with matching the motor & shallow water anchors to your personal style. I could not agree more. 5:13 He comments about the Ultrex or Ultrex Quest being quiet. They are not. My Ultrex was heard by my kids swimming 75' away from the boat. They heard Spot Lock turning the motor on & off under water. I own a pair of 10' Talons, had an Ultrex (Spot Lock was horrid) & now have an Ultrex Quest (Ultrex's Spot Lock issues seem to be fixed). The Ultrex Quest is way quieter than the Ultrex was, Talons do great at holding the boat still. Talons & Spot Lock compliment each other, they don't really compete against each other. Mud & Talons aren't worth much together. I love Spot Lock, love the Talons as well. I own what this video poorly tries to explain This video is terrible.
