    Big D Trolling Motor - Bob's Machine

    Anyone use Bob's trolling motor handle? Pro's/Con's? Is the TH Marine handle better?

    I have one.. it’s 100 times better than the TH Marine handle. The Big D doesn’t use a set screw to hold the handle on the cable. Big D is built to last.

    I purchased the G-Force handle several years ago. I have not had any issues with mine. It has done great.

    I have been using the one in my post above for over 10 years... They offer other colors if you don't like red.

    The big D handle is superior to anything with a cheap plastic handle. I have ripped the guts out of more than one G-force handle.

    I used the Start Me Up handle but I used the cable that came on my Ghost, I didn't use the rope. So far its worked great. Been using it for almost 2 years now, never an issue.
