[cool][#0000ff]I'd be happy to have you visit the "PVC Castle" (my garage) for a tricking out party. There are a variety of things we need to address, like how many rods, what size handles, where do they go, how to attach, where are the D rings, etc. Once you know the basics, the rest goes easy.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]In the meantime, visit the [url "http://www.bigfishtackle.com/cgi-bin/gforum/gforum.cgi?forum=130;"]FLOAT TUBE PICTURE BOARD[/url] and read some of the past posts (with pics) on the [url "http://www.bigfishtackle.com/cgi-bin/gforum/gforum.cgi?post=184642;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread"]BEST OF THE BEST[/url] of the float tubing board. Once you have an idea of what is possible, and what you wanna do with your ride, we can get down to specifics.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]A short answer to the question about rod placement and fighting fish: Obviously the rod rack is situated opposite my casting arm. The extra rods are never in the way. As big fish try to circle the tube, I use my fins for keeping the line and the fish in front of me. There is a lot to playing large fish from a float tube. You have to keep them from hog tieing you, and they seem to learn that when they travel in schools.[/#0000ff]
