Re: Redbone rods

I had one that broke, it was replaced. Has lasted for years. I learned how to make rods from Mudhole and now just make one after I give away the previous one. Also had good luck with ugli sticks. HArd to beat for the price.

Re: about to mount scotty flush mouont in cockpit of t 140

The deed is done. I cot the hole a little smaller than the through tehe kayak mount and used a dowel rod with sandpaper attached to it to enlarge the hole for a tight fit. Looks great, seems very sturdy with cutting board modified backing plate. John

about to mount scotty flush mount in cockpit of t 140

I did not like the slidetrax RAM mount in the cockpit area. It was to far forward to reach when it was out of the way of the paddle. I am about to drill holes for the scotty flush mount. I will be using an extension that is 4 to 6 inches long. Question, just in front of the cup holder or farther up ...

Re: ozello crystal river area tomorrow

Tere was no place out of the wind completely. caught a few trout, just short of keepers. My buddy got a couple of rat reds and a sheepshead aboout 14". The wind chill was unexpected. Will be getting booties, the tennis shoes with socks got old quick. However, the new rod was sweet, especially s...

Re: New rod building law

You can just put a rubber band around the rod and use it to hold the hook. John

Re: Bed extender

I found mine when they were having a sell, so I guess you could make one out of Schedule 80 PVC, 1 1/2" will fit a 2" reciever. It is plenty strong enough to support a kayak. Then just drill a hole thru the PVC that matched the reciever pin receptacle. Really need to go back from tailgate ...

Re: 8' fiberglass rods any good?

I use a 3.00 piece of PVC, so If you want a fiberglass rod, that would be a good deal for you. PVC is light, if you plug the ends it floats, easy to put a T on for a handle. John
