I have a couple of Pflueger President reels and really like them. They are durable, reliable and an all around good value. I run them with 6 and 8 pound fluoro. I own a 7 foot two piece vengeance and have had no issues with it, wife got it for me on Amazon a while back. I would look there if you haven't, she is usually a value shopper. That being said, I prefer one piece rods. I would go to GM and get one of their Vortex 6.6 one piece spinning rods (they are on sale right now for 14.99). I have always had good luck with their stuff and they are a steal for that price. Can't say much about top water or good mono equipment...just don't fish those enough.

I ended up taking the foot pedal apart and cleaned it up...a ton of sand and grime in there. Plugged her back in and everything works again!!! Thanks again for the advise gang.

Thanks for all the helpful comments. I have done most everything suggested. I may just buy a new foot pedal. When I touch the foot pedal to engage motor it clicks once in the main unit, like it is trying to communicate. I'll keep you posted.

I'm baffled... I have a 2011 MinnKota Power Drive V2 running on a parallel 12V system. The unit has run great and suddenly one day the prop stopped spinning mid trip. The batteries are good, the motor will turn 360 degrees, the shear pin is good, but the prop will not turn when engaged. It will spin freely by hand. Any ideas?
