GBW Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I have seen a few of these rod holders that keep your line in place so I decided I would try and make one. So far go good but I might make a change to it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeseb Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 looks pretty solid!! if you dont mind me asking what is that coil holding the rod? Would it be somthing one could pick up at home depot etc. Ive been looking into making somthing like this as well but havent decided what will actually keep the rod in place. I had attempted to make one using some plastic tubing from an old hockey net and it was a little to wide to hold the rod nice and snug.

GBW Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 it's a rod holder that I cut shorter http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/5/SportsRec/Fishing/RodReelCombos/PRD~0783321P/Berkley+Spiral+Rod+Holder.jsp?locale=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAW Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 You sure that's legal? Just askin, not trying to start anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 You sure that's legal? Just askin, not trying to start anything I have read it on many boards and CO's say it's fine. it's a line down rigger and you can buy them all over the place. this is the one I got the idea from http://www.icefish.com/catalog/inventory.php?fam=110&cat=152 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiel Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 You sure that's legal? Just askin, not trying to start anything Totally legal as long as it's not left unattended. Good work Geoff, should work nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBW Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Good to know guys! Looks like a nice simple design. Good work GBW thanks Nick. I used 2 nails, then covered in tube to hold the line still. I might make or buy a clip of some sort though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Looks like it will rip the lips off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted November 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Looks like it will rip the lips off. the best part is Brian, I can set it reel soft or like in the pic. If I set it the soft way (that I intend to use it) you might not have seen the rod loaded up at all in the pic. I did a bit of over-kill in the pic to show what it does.

spooner_jr Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Don't test it out in the garage, with a hook tied on it; it works, and it hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanD Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I think a down rigger release, as the line holder; would work great for this set up? Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
