(1) trigger finger only on top!

Depends...when the fishing is really good I get blisters between my fingers so I switch it up depending on the pain level.

Has to do with the knob size you're thinking of using. On larger knobs, my index sits against the knot shaft, just the thumb is above

If I were to place my index on top as you're showing, the tip of my thumb would hit the arm as it rotates.
The way I'm showing, helps  keeping my elbow close to my side, that's how I like it on heavy cranking.

But...I do not have girly hands ;) ;D

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

STRIPER LOU

Perfect Sal, that's really the correct answer. It definitely depends on the knob size and style.

That is a picture of my grandfather circa WWII.

Yeah, I've got several of my Dad's WWll artifacts. The best being the wool dress blues, like in your avatar.

Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

I do the vulcan death grip (2 fingers) like Mo, but if I can adapt from lefty to righty than I can adapt to 1 on top and 3 down low... or as Sal has shown.

I think he could make some extra money doing hand-modeling for tool manufacturers  ;D
