[cool][size 1]Hey, BigE, thanks for the input. I think I got the idea. I have dropped in on Baytubers site a few times for ideas myself. [/size]
[size 1]If you are using larger rod handles...like on saltwater sticks...it makes sense to use larger tubes and separate them more. Also, for drifting or dragging a bait, it is handy to have the forward rod out at an angle. Also, that nylon strapping works fine to cinch things in place. If I am lashing anything to the tube, without using D rings, I like to tighten it up before I finish airing up my craft. That tightens it a bit more.[/size]
[size 1]I have about five or six different models right now, with a couple more on the drawing board. Hopefully we can keep getting good new ideas and sharing them...so that we can all have the type holder that will work best for the fishing we do.[/size]
[size 1]With everybody posting up pictures like it was nothing it is probably frustrating to be stuck in the film age. I still have some good SLR cameras, but just don't use them anymore. Too easy and cheap to blaze away with the digital and toss the shots that aren't what you want.[/size]
[size 1]The good news is that...like most technology...digital cameras are really dropping in price and improving in quality and simplicity. Maybe you will trip over one someday and then you can share your pics too.[/size]
