Anyone with experience using this device? My kicker speed control can be a challenge so interested in something that can help fine tune. I've not been able to find out much about this unit except from the manufacturers site. Sound like Trollmaster gets mixed reviews and has some issues with water resistance. The Itroll is water proof.
Thanks,
Grey Beard

I have one and I really like it.. So far its only one season, but its working great and does give me some control. It goes on really easy. Only complaint is it seems to be too fast to adjust the speed comparing their percentage to how much the motor increases. I need to read and see if I can adjust that cause I think maybe I can.. It has lots of neat features including a search mode and ability to do some programming stuff on speads..

I have no experience with the Itroll but will put a plug in for the Trollmaster. I've been using them for 20 years with no problems other than a servo that went bad, bought a new one from a hobby store for about 10 bucks and was back up and running. Calling them for advice has been a positive experience but I have to admit I haven't in several years, so not sure if that is still the case. I just put a new one in for a friend last year and it is amazing how adjustable it is compared to my 12 year old one.

I ordered an ITroll and did pop for the Hunt mode in part because you save $20 on shipping if on initial order. I already try to mimic some of the erratic speed Hunt mode does but not my boatmates, at least intentionally lol. I figured it would be simplier to let a computor do it for me.
I checked with a few other fishing friends and frankly quite surprised how many already have a Trollmaster or other speed device in place. They never talk about it but when asked they for the most part love it and would not be without it. When I described some of the ITroll features the were quite surprised and interested. Late last summer replaced my S1000 autopilot with Lowrance's new one and so far love it. Looking forward to technology making life easier this summer.
