Icerod holder for a sled.

[338bar]

After using a homemade icerod holder for a couple trips I decided it is working out ok. I like to keep two jigs tied to each line and throwing the rods in a pile in the back of the tahoe usually created a mess. It didn't get any better after sticking them in a bucket and heading out on the lake. What I did was to make a holder that can be used to carry them on the sled and to store them after the trip. No more tangled lines makes for less setup time.

The first pic shows the rodholder removed from the sled and turned around. The second pic shows the rod holder installed on the sled.

I used an old broomhandle to make the frame and then added a couple berkley rod holders for the rods. I used half round plastic pipe holders for the sled and the rod holder slides into place when you are ready to go. The pipe holders are just slightly larger than the broomhandle.

i noticed that last sat at chemung when i was out there with msuiceman when wildbill caught that pike i was thinking to myself how something like that could be retrofitted to go on top of my ice shanty when i pull it out but release easy so i could set it up?:rolleyes:

Never ceases to amaze me when I see somthing like this! Outdoorsman have to be some of the most Creative folks on earth. At times it seems like there is nothing that a Fisherman can't come up with a good answer for! Remember last time you pier fished? Some of those pier carts remind me of Rodney Dangerfields Golf Bag from Caddyshack.

Way to Go 338!!!
