Looking to go out Saturday and the weather says waves 2-4 feet winds 10-20. With what the weather is predicting for Saturday would I need a drif sock if Im jigging? Would be fishing out of the Maumee bay area .

It wouldn't hurt, if it goes north 10-20 it will be more like 3 to 5s in the open lake, could catch a break if its more nw in the bay.... needs the sock to help stay vertical if jigging also slows the drift for casting weapons.... take some along with a few dozen crawlers......
If you got your 101 I-pilot all set up, you shouldn't need a drift sock. Point the nose of the boat into the wind, use the auto pilot on the I-pilot and just adjust your speed you want to drift. Works real well. Note: on the hand held ( I mainly use the foot pedal buttons as for me it's easier than the remote) You push and hold the N button till the circle around the N goes away. The circle is the advanced mode, you just want the auto pilot mode. Or you can use the button on the foot pedal.
thanks for the help. My minn kota wont be installed until May, 21st :(
I just installed my terrova 101 this year and all I can say is "hell yeah". You can dial your speed in exactly and I no longer use linkage from my kicker to my main motor when trolling. I just turn on the kicker, set the speed, and use my terrova to do all steering with the remote. Spot lock function also works great for staying on top of fish. Your going to love it!
