Oh, one more picture.....the results!
Here's my home made rod holder. The base and T-bar was taken from a unwanted bike carrier. The holders were re-figured, Item B( http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/st...=SearchResults )
Thats neat. Welding 4, 4 rod holder T bars this afternoon. Not counting the driftmasters that go on it, should only have about $20 in all 4. Only adjustment I dont have is height.
nice holder, fish too.
whats that thing in the middle of your fish??
I have a bunch of 1/2" threaded rods...and some round stock 1/2" and 3/4 galvanized bars, and some aluminum flat stock. I cut some steel flat stock, bored hole and used a tap and die set cut the threads, I am gonna wire weld a couple of these on top of each other for thickness to screw the threaded rods in. Its still a work in progress but I am expected to come in with hardly nothing in the bars with the exception of the rod holders and I am thinking about getting the cheap adjustable ones at Wal Mart for that. I found four brandnew Driftmaster rod holder bases for a round rod at a yard sale last Friday for .50 cents apiece so I am set if I had the time to put it all together.
