[cool] Hey, JR, just be careful who and what you're flashin'. Anyone outside our elite fraternity just might not understand.
I dropped in on Scotty's site, and I must admit I am underwhelmed. I did get kinda excited by those downriggers though. I'll race you to see who can get one on their tube first. Next come the planer boards...or outriggers. That would mean I need to think about installing a flying bridge. Geez, I think I'm gonna run out of D rings for mounting all that stuff.
I'm with you on those adjustable strap add-ons. I tried a couple of the early models of rod holders and lost a good rod when the strap slipped. I started playing with my own designs in PVC pipe about twenty years ago. Now you can buy pretty decent multi-tube rod holders for a reasonable price, and they mount easily on tubes too.
What is it they say about invention? Necessity is a mother...or something like that.
