My Ultimate Milk Crate

With a few posts about milk crates, thought I would add the photos of my milk crate that I put togethr a couple of months ago in the rigging section.

And I have actually found that I like using the rod holders on the crate so much that I had no need to put in rod holders on the kayak itself. I like the fact they stand straight up and out of the way on my back cast. Works out really well for me.

Impressive Erick...and very clean layout(like I expected anything else from you

) I really like the way you side mounted that Scotty rod holder too. The way you have arranged things it makes for much more actual room in your crate.
Me thinks I just may have to do some rearranging with my own crate now.

Hmm, i think I still have a rigged Crate somewhere, a little different to Ericks, I'll search it out and post a pic of it.

Erick where did you get the cup holder attachement, widget? Need something like that for the "Li'l Darlin"

John, it is the Snap N Trac system from Gotcha fishing products. The website is at the following address:

Actually made for a boat but I made it fit on the milk crate. Neat little product.

That is a tight setup. One of the neatest!

I have been trying to fing Pics for idea's on how to set up the crate in My Scupper Pro. My Problem is the Crate size to fit the TW can only be 12 x 16.

I have adapted a Handbasket from Office depot as a temporary fix while searching for the "crate of my dreams"....lol

Cookin, this is an old pic but the legs fit in the tankwell of my OK Drifter. Might be a help to you

You can use the space under the crate to store suff you don't need to get too often like empty adult beverage bottles

I might add all my crate evolutions pale in comparison to Erick's 8) "Where does he get all those marvelous toys?" Dan

I think that is a great Idea...I was thinking of a similar design, but this simplify's my Issue a bit.
Thanks !!!

Your welcome. Glad to be of help. You can't see in that pic but there are 90 degree elbows at the top also with very short pieces of pvc to make it one piece. Dan

Hey P-13 I'd love to see it. I have built 2 different ones so far ...they are rough designes to get me on the water and fishing...
Going to try to do a "finish" crate soon. I'll take all the ideas I can find.
Thanks !!!
