I am working on mounting an S-1 Probe on my straight rod with the box in front of my grip and the probe right under my arm cuff. In fact, it will just snap into a clip that I made that holds the arm cuff on too. I am right handed, so, I will flip the toggle with my right index finger, and grab the probe with my left hand and I am in business! I'll post some pics of my whole setup when I get the first GT back, hopefully by this weekend. i won't use the probe too much at the beach, but I may try out the setup there just because it's easier dirt fishing. I have been hip-mounting for many years, but this new setup is really exciting! The connections are secured and I can use the meter if I want and it is sure alot easier to change settings on the fly. I think modifying our equipment is as much fun as digging up the good stuff! Well, almost, a diamond ring is a pretty great rush too!
