BillM Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Instead of shelling out $250 for a Big Jon unit I thought I'd just rig one up myself. We made out last one out of a old piece of pipe, a pulley and a big Penn reel.. unfortunately I've got two planer boards so need a dual system... I was still thinking of using a steel pipe with fitting to sit in the 2 3/4 pedestal mount in the front of the Lund. Maybe some pulleys from PA, only question is the reels themselves.. I'm sure someone here has done this before, any pointers/tips would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loonietoon Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I made mine with a pipe then used 2 cloth line pulleys to hold the line with 2 small pulleys at the top of the mast to send the line out.. in the cloth line pulleys I drilled a hole and put a piece of dowling in as a crank handle.. works great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
