Gerald Swindle uses Troll perfect to take 2nd place on Toledo Bend

Quoting from BassFan News:

"He said he also benefited greatly from a device called Troll Perfect, which clamps over the swivel bearing on a trolling-motor shaft and allows for easy adjustment of the tension on the cable steering. "I'm not sponsored by them or anything – a guy just came up and gave it to me when we were in Florida," he said. "I didn't even get his name. Then I was doing my tackle one night and I came across it and I figured if the guy thought enough of me to give it to me, I ought to put it on and try it. I couldn't get over how much more balance and steadiness it gave me in that wind." http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif

good stuff http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif

this is the REAL THING.... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif

I don't get it.........

i didn't either at first but after looking over the installation ,im guessing you just adjust the two clamps so that the rubber creates friction on the shafts so it can't turn as easily??Pretty simple but im guessing it would damper the movement as long as you didnt have it too tight http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif

</td></tr></table>...ok..go to the TROLL PERFECT site...read the reviews..this is basically it...all trolling motors have two shafts..the lower one and the upper are 'almost independant" of each other..by "clamping down' on both shafts you control the random movement of the trolling motor head...it can move by wind, current,,,etc..so your ON THE TOLLING MOTOR PEDAL MORE....since the TROLL PERFECT IS ADJUSTABLE..you can adjust the tension needed to keep the head from turning....its like a PRO POLE up front.... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/popcorn.gif

http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif gotcha that was my guess,

I like mine, my lower shaft and unit spins FREELY, and it would kick and cause me to have to readjust every time. I put one on, after adjusting a little, it doesn't bind or fight me to turn it, but it doesn't kick to the side causing me to have to readjust anymore. http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif
