Redneck jawjacker!
#5
Excellent! I did almost exactly the same thing (same concept/almost same design) a few years back, and it worked really well.

Mine was based on the ubiquitous "bucket" platform, though. I drilled a hole for the rod-butt on one side and made a padded notch opposite that for the rod to rest just ahead of the reel.

My wire was shaped just a tiny bit differently but I actually think yours is a little better now that I see it. Easier to tune, and it MIGHT allow me to NOT have to constantly install and remove spring bobbers.

I ran the string (a shoelace) holding the trigger wire to the bottom corner of the bucket and put it through a tiny hole, through the wire and back through the hole. If the hole is the right size and you tie a knot in one end, you can adjust string length and friction where the knot hits the hole will hold it.

I sure like and respect a guy who can figure out and do for himself!
