Imagine gliding effortlessly across the water, your trolling motor responding instantly to every subtle nudge of your wrist. The Simrad RECON Joystick Remote, powered by innovative FreeSteer technology, turns this vision into reality for serious anglers chasing that perfect cast. This compact, wearable controller clips to your belt or vest, keeping your hands free for rod and reel while delivering unmatched precision over your RECON Trolling Motor.
Unlock Next-Level Control on the Water
Gone are the days of cumbersome wired controls or limited steering options. With full 360-degree joystick steering, you command diagonal movements and pinpoint positioning that feel intuitive, almost like an extension of your arm. The standout FreeSteer Jog feature lets you shift your boat in eight distinct directions—forward, backward, sideways, and everything in between—making it easier to hover over structure or fight current without drifting off mark.
For spot-lock enthusiasts, the eight-way directional anchor jog is a game-changer. Fine-tune your anchor position without resetting or physically adjusting lines, saving precious time during prime bite windows. Direct access to autopilot heading locks, course holds, prop power, and anchor modes means one device handles it all, streamlining your setup for solo trips or tournament runs.
Built for Real-World Fishing Demands
Ergonomic Wearable Design: Lightweight and balanced, it conforms to your movements without fatigue, perfect for long days battling fish.
Clear Visibility Anywhere: A vibrant two-inch transflective LCD display shines in direct sun or low light, showing status, battery, and motor feedback at a glance.
Customizable Comfort: Programmable keys and LED-backlit buttons adapt to your workflow, glowing softly for night fishing without blinding you.
Hassle-Free Upkeep: The tool-less battery door pops open for quick swaps, keeping you powered up without downtime.
Real Anglers, Real Advantages
Picture this: You’re targeting suspended walleye in a windy bay. Traditional spot-lock struggles against the chop, but with the joystick remote, a quick jog repositions you perfectly over the school. Or during bass tournaments, execute micro-adjustments to stay locked on brush piles while working topwater lures. Bass pros and offshore specialists alike rave about how it eliminates guesswork, boosting catch rates by maintaining ideal boat angle to current and wind.
Integration with RECON Trolling Motors elevates wireless control, syncing seamlessly for responsive thrust and virtual anchoring that rivals high-end competitors. It’s not just a remote—it’s your competitive edge, designed by boating experts who understand the chaos of live bait drifts and jigging runs.
Everyday Reliability Meets Innovation
Crafted with marine-grade durability, this remote withstands splashes, drops, and salty air. Pair it with your existing RECON setup for hybrid control: foot pedal for power bursts, joystick for finesse. Anglers report fewer repositioning hassles, leading to more fish in the livewell and less frustration on the water.
What makes FreeSteer Jog different from standard steering?
FreeSteer Jog introduces eight-directional movement, including diagonals, allowing precise boat shifts that standard 360 steering can’t match. It’s ideal for dodging obstacles or holding position in tough conditions.
