[cool][#0000ff]I secure the bottom of my rod rack in place by using a bungee cord attached to some D rings on the underside of my SFC. Not sure if they have those on the FC4 or not. They were put there to attach pack straps, and I think most Outcast craft have them. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I plan to take a new series of pics on my latest setup. I have been using white plastic molding strips for attaching my rod tubes, instead of wood or PVC as a base. I have been using the same material to make my "tool rack". [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I also have some new "take down" rod tubes that can be set up as "outriggers" to hole bait rods while fishing with two poles. I finally have a design that holds either spinning or baitcasting rods securely to that an eager catfish cannot make off with your rod if you do not have the free spool on or the bail open.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I'll try to get the new pictorial ready to post before the weekend is over. It will include pics of attaching the bungee cord to the bottom of the tube and then to the rod holder. If you only need two rods, my design will work well for you. All you need to do is make the tubes the same distance apart as the two D rings on the side of the tube, and make nylon rope loops to slip them into. Quick install and take down.[/#0000ff]
