| I'm going into my 3rd season with an I-Pilot. IMO, the remote is more of a crutch than a benefit when casting. This isn't a knock on the product, the product is awesome, it just doesn't translate well to casting. You need two hands to cast and figure 8, thus using a remote is clunky. Where the motor really shines in the casting world is the advanced auto piliot. Depending on the wind, it will hold a course very easily, making boat control much less of a hassle allowing you to focus more on your fishing. The spot lock on the remote can be a very handy feature when the situation warrants. All in all though, the remote just isn't something you are going to want to use much when casting. I had to ween myself off of it because it was costing me so many casts.
The remote aside, the Terrova is an awesome motor, I cast with it every day on the water and absolutely love it. You get on a huge flat, point the thing in the direction you want your drift to take and start chucking. If the wind is light that is all there is to it.
The I-Piolt remote is an absolutely amazing tool for walleye fishing where position and speed on th structure you are fishing are critical elements. I suspect that would translate very well to your Spider Rigging.
