Yeah, Ray, running a Go Devil is like arm-wrestling a 500 pound gorilla, be very careful or it will dislocate your shoulder, like 4WD in ruts. No reverse either. These are easy to turn and have reverse. The cat's meow in the marsh. Usually one to a boat tho.

Of course, in deep water, just dropping your anchor w/the line cleated off gives you direction. The more line the more direction, depending. Easy to recover and not messy.
