Minn Kota Endura C2 40 Lb Trolling Motor
You can probably get away with a 40 amp circuit breaker which you can get at walmart or any auto parts store.

Any Pelican Bass Raider Owners Out There?
I have a 36lb thrust and it moves the boat nicely, I am sure a 30 will work just fine. You might want to check your DNR website, in IL you have to have your battery in a battery box.

Jig Bite...question
I was having the same problems you are having, and its bluegills/warmouth... I was fishing a tourney this year and kept on getting hits but couldn't hook anything. The next thump I got I set the hook hard and had the lips of a bluegill/warmouth on the jig.

Jiggidy,jig How Do I Choose?
Check out North star jigs or Gmans, both make great quality jigs. I usually stick to the basic role of using football head jigs around rocks, arkie or alien heads around timber, swing jigs to run through weeds, and flipping jigs to punch mats or vegetation. If you don't feel like buying a bunch of different jigs stick with arkie or alien heads, they work fine around rocks and are pretty versatile. I always use a trailer, either ragetail craws/chunks or netbaits baby craw/chunk. That's just me though, any craw type trailer will work.
