Here's What I've Been Doing Today

[Leecher]

Been working on a this since Friday and late this afternoon, had a chance to give them a new look

I like this pattern simply because it will be noticeable on the hard surface.....

 

Here they are

 

 

and well balanced

 

 

Ultra light

 

 

another shot

 

 

Enjoy!!!

[e-z-out]

I'll put in an order for 2 once the hobby is over

[kickingfrog]

Thet do look good enough to sell.

[Handlebarz]

they sure do look nice the only thing I might suggest to change is only paint one end orange that way you will not get confused if the tip up is down. I had my old ones painted kinda the same different colors red/green and changed it so that just the top was green so that I knew when the fish was on.

 

Other then that they look great and I like the idea of having the extra holes to change your position of the pin great work as always

jaques great work man!

 

i might have a side project for you!

 

a ice rod holder.

 

a bracket that will hold my ice rods horisontal.

 

and when a fish strikes the tip goes down center with the hole .

 

bock of the drag on the spool and the fish pull the line free spool.

 

once you get to your rod. tight the drag and set the hook.

 

this way you fight the fish on rods.......

 

you know were im going with this?

[Fishing 24/7]

something like this!

Nice Leechman. I've been thinking of doing somethng similar myself.

 

Question: Why is the rear part of the horizontal stick offset? Is this for line or for balance?

 

Good job!

Thanks MrEh!!! The extra holes are for adjusting the sensitivity of the top depending on the species you're targetting..... couple that with reels that have drag knob brings sensitivity to another level

Thanks for your suggestion on the color pattern

Thanks archie!!! I'll also keep that in mind

Thanks Kev!!! I know where you're going with this..... it's doable.... thinking retractable wooden holders for ease of transportation

Good job!

 

Thanks LucG!!! This is the only design I made that would make a top look different from others that are simply straight.... it's main purpose is for installing a plastic reel balance comes from the 10 holes that I drilled into it

[LucG]
