 Crushed my reeling wrist 40 years ago and as I get older the wrist and fingers don't work as well. This prompted me to try and design a more comfortable foam knob. I've successfully made torpedo, log, pistol grip, and Canadian jumbo(pictured). I've been fishing them for 2 years and never looked back. The Canadian Jumbo may seem a bit large, but actually feels very nice in the hand.  It may actually be a bit small for guys like Broadway and Hardy boy. lol

Cool! Thinkin 'bout it. Losing grip strength in right hand and thumb & forefinger ends are 1/2 way numb.
Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

Might have to give that a spin some day ! Now I know why we used to meet so many girls from Washington State up at the pubs in Vancouver ........................ looking for a Canadian Jumbo !!! ;D

Ted I may have to have you put one of those aside for me for a 114H.

The most comfortable knob that I have ever used!  Keeps your hand from cramping up during a long fight.

Appears to be very comfortable, nice design Ted! 👍

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

Assuming it's aluminium under the foam - how the hell do you do that ;)

Not bad Ted, but check out a real custom grip.  ::) Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

Those handles are awesome Ted!
Love your eccentric levers too!  ;D
