It's hard to find one that is good for both. The Minn Kota Peter spoke of is good for striper trolling when you have either the Auto Pilot or the I Pilot, but I do not feel its good for bass\pan fishing. The reaction of the motor to the foot petal is just way too slow. I can compensate by setting the course and speed I want and trying to go foot free. But you will always need to make a major move and that motor simply can't do it fast enough. I have the IPilot and the anchor feature Peter spoke of does a good job as long as the wind\current are from a constant direction.
If I had a choice I would have two motors that I could trade out for whatever I was doing. If I had to pick one, I would pick the Minn Kota with the I Pilot as it is more of a hassle trying to troll with a conventional foot controlled motor for stripers than it is to use the Minn Kota for bass\Pan fishing.
