How do you guys like the Xi5 foot pedal compared to the Terrova? I use the remote for some things but while I am casting for muskies I use the foot pedal exclusively. I wasn't impressed with the design when I saw them at a shop. Seems like you get the captain morgan stance of the cable drive motors in a wireless pedal.

Good point, I guess it is a little thicker. I use my remote more...hung from a belt loop. When I do use the foot pedal (Xi5 or Terrova) I just reach over and toe tap it... not rest my foot on it.

One more thing...being able to "jog" 5 feet in any direction while in anchor mode is really nice. If you want to move the boat 20' straight ahead you just hit the arrow four times and it will jog you ahead and re-anchor. Nice for working weed beds, rock piles etc.
