Meet Todd – The Engineer & Founder
Todd, the owner and engineer behind Summit Fishing Equipment, saw a gap in the market for a truly portable fishing electronics solution. That idea led to the creation of the first Summit Shuttle, pioneering a new way to transport and protect fishing electronics. With a career in engineering, Todd started the business in his basement right before COVID-19 shut everything down. As demand grew, so did the company—eventually expanding beyond the basement into a dedicated facility where we continue to develop top-quality transducer poles, transducer mounts, bags, and boat mounting solutions. When Todd is not working he is either fishing, tending to his garden, or tinkering on his next project.
Meet Kaleigh
Kaleigh, Todd's oldest daughter, has been fishing with him since she could walk. With a degree in marketing, Kaleigh has been part of Summit Fishing since the beginning and has worn plenty of hats as the business has grown. Today, she focuses on marketing, brand development, and helping guide the continued growth of Summit Fishing Equipment and Summit Lithium. When Kaleigh isn't working, she is likely chasing after her toddler, cuddling with her coonhound, making sourdough, or running.
Meet Seth
Seth, Kaleigh’s husband, is another key part of the team. If you’ve had any questions about marine electronics, you’ve likely spoken with him. His knowledge ensures that customers get the right setup for their needs. Seth also runs the shop behind the scenes, making sure parts are assembled & ready to be shipped out to our customers. He is an essential part of the team. When Seth is not working, you can find him fishing, golfing, or hanging out with his family.
Meet Conner
Conner, is a family-friend of ours & a key part of the team. Conner works behind the scenes at Summit Fishing. He designs and develops new products with Todd, runs our CNC machines to make sure we’ve always got plenty of gear ready to ship. When he’s not in the shop, you’ll find him on the golf course, chasing walleye or musky on the local lakes, or enjoying a plate of Mexican food at one of his favorite spots.
Meet Cassidy
Cassidy is a crucial part of our team and is often the person behind the phone, email, or message when you reach out to Summit Fishing or Summit Lithium. She helps customers with product questions, orders, and finding the right Summit gear for their setup. Whether you're trying to figure out what works with your electronics or just need help with an order, Cassidy is here to help make the process a little easier. When she's not working, you can find her working out or spending time with friends and family.
Tucker — Chief Supervising Officer
Tucker is Todd's dog and takes his supervisory role at Summit very seriously. He hasn't missed a meeting yet and can usually be found making the rounds, checking for snacks or keeping a close eye on whatever the team is working on. He also oversees office hydration, although his technique tends to leave more water on the floor than in the bowl. Outside of work, Tucker loves his frisbee and spending time with his mom. His attendance record is impressive, with one exception: if Mom takes the day off, Tucker does too.
Larry — Assistant Director of Marketing & Naps
Larry works closely with his mom, Kaleigh, in the marketing department, where his responsibilities include attending the occasional photoshoot and sleeping under her desk for most of the workday. He's surprisingly difficult to bribe with treats and generally prefers to keep to himself. When he does clock out, Larry loves running through the woods behind the shop—usually returning with at least one tick as proof of a productive afternoon.
FAQ'S
What length of pole should I purchase?
We recommend a 24"-60" pole for both ice fishing and the boat. For lakes that develop more than 2 feet of ice, choose the 32-80” pole. The 18-36” pole is ideal for small boats and kayaks.
Why Choose the Summit HD CNC Shuttle?
Our portable shuttle insulates the battery from cold temperatures with its plastic construction. It's compact and includes a full wiring harness with instructional videos. All made 100% in the USA.
Do I need the 9” Arm or the 6” Arm?
Measure the center of the mounting location to the rub rail. If the length is under 6.5”, choose the 6” arm and stabilizer. If it’s over 6.5”, opt for the 9” arm and stabilizer.
What length of stabilizer do I need?
Measure the center of the mounting location to the rub rail. If the length is under 6.5”, choose the 6” stabilizer. If it’s over 6.5”, opt for the 9” stabilizer. If it is 9.5"- 11.5" pair the 11" stabilizer with the 9" Ram Arm.
