Picking which remote I use really depends on what I'm fishing for. I've got the first gen I-Pilot Link remote (big LCD screen), the micro remote (small pocket sized remote) and the foot pedal for the Terrova. If I'm fishing fast, casting the shore line or weed edges, it's the foot pedal. If I'm moving from spot to spot vertical jigging or casting to specific stuff it's the micro remote. If I'm veritcal fishing lakers or bass in the fall and moving in between way points, it's the full size Link remote. I've got a use for each of them.
