Love/Hate relationship

[TheTinMan]

My T-top. I love the rod holders, the spreader lights, the T-Bag for PFD's, protection from the weather, place for antennas.....Hate the way it gets in my way for fishing! I'm convinced I lost a few fluke the other day because of it! I got a few strikes at the top of my lift but no room to set the hook because the top is in the way! :( Not sure what to do??? It's a fairly bulky top. a smaller one would be better but would not give as much protection. I know I'll miss some of it's benefits if I get rid of it. Maybe I'll get more used to it and it will be less of a problem. It's only a problem when fishing from the sides of the console and aft. Unfortunately, most of my fishing occurs from that area unless I'm casting/fly fishing which is done from the bow, plenty of room up there.
