My idea for TM speed control

That's slick man.

Thnx guys for the refinement in my idea. I'll get that ball on there tomorrow. Don't believe I would enjoy being a shishkobob!!

You can get really uptown if you replace it with a Hurst shifter and a cue ball top, lol. Great idea. I truly believe crappie fishermen are the most innovative of all.

That was exactly what I thought when I first saw the picture. Hurst shifter all the way !!!!

For some reason my computer is not picking up the pictures that you have posted. From the good comments you are receiving it sounds like a good design. Hope to see the pics later.

That is top shelf. I also agree that a Hurst "T" handle would be the finishing touch on a great idea. You have no idea how many times I came to the conclusion that I need to think about losing the gut when I bend over to change speed settings.

Good idea, I just roll it up or down with my foot (shoe)

For just one of the reasons I designed this to easily and comfortably rest my hand on the "shifter".....I have learned to anticipate the wind while spider rigging.

As soon as I feel a gust or increase in the wind (or even if I see the wind rippling across the water towards me) I can actually increase my TM speed accordingly before the wind has time to affect the position of the boat. My experience in spider rigging is ...boat control is everything.

I want my baits "in the Zone" .....not trying to "get back to the Zone" from where the wind blew me off the spot.
