they use something simmilar on down riggers.. I am not using a nail, dont trust them, I am using a wood screw, and grinding down three sides... aint takin no chances....
you only need one, if your fishing rod in one hand and trolling with the other...
I dont think you need a slaming are as big as mine, I think a 3 of 4 inch arm will do nicely..
to attach the bungie, drill a though hole, then counter sink the oposite sides and tie a knot on both sides, be sure the arm is down when you tie the knots that way when the arm is up you will have tention...
the trick is matching the base lenth with the rod... otherwise you have to drill holes all over the place..
also important is using a fiberglass rod or an ugly stick so it dosnt snap on ya...
wished I could say the idea was mine, but I cant take credit for another mans work...
but ya, I could see this working on a tube big time.. a three way conector with a 45 and a short nub as a rod holder mounted just in front of your elbo and just the slaming arm attached to the front of your tube...
do that and now ya got ten more pages to add to the tubin board... LOL[laugh]
