 | As stated you can use the remote and pedal interchangeably.  IMO, using the remote while casting has more negatives than positives.  Quite simply, you need 2 hands to cast, thus the remote costs you casts.  Also, when a fish shows up and you are executing the 8, the ability to cut the motor with the tap of foot is invaluable.  No way to do that with a remote while playing your rod. 
 Remote has positives too.  I used it last fall to “figure 8” a sucker and trigger a strike.  Spot Lock when you are processing a fish is invaluable.
 
 The Terrova is a great tool all around.
