Lol Capt Mike was giving me heck the other day! So I figure I would go out and get some more put on!
this is before the new additions
Here are some sweet rod holders that Chuck @ Hartsell Props did for me.. they where pricey but I wanted something to hold spinning gear without it flopping around..
This is my latest Edition. I figured I would take a little business over to Bill Boeker at Boeker Industries because I have heard so many good things about his work. And all where true.. he did an amazing job!
Had him put the backrest on my leaning post with 4 rocket launchers.. that makes for a total of 12 rod holders on the boat which hopefully is enough for now.. Seat is pretty comfy now man once I get the power pole I am going to be a lazy fisherman. 
So there is only a few things left then I can get back to my car.. lol. Put the power pole on once I get a new pump. And save some $$ for a newer outboard. The v4 runs awesome but I want something that looks a little better and gets better mileage.. that ole v4 only gives me about 2 mpg which limits my range big time.. |

Very nice work. Who would you recommend for adding an aluminum pull-up lean support thingy to a poling platform (shown very well in the fourth picture above)? Sorry if I got too technical.

| Either Bill Boeker or Chuck @ hartsell props.. probably run you about 100 to 175 because they use pole holders. either would do a fine job. And the sissy bar comes in mighty handy on them windy days |

By the way I still can't figure the 12 rod holders....I would think that 12 adult beverage holders and a ash tray would have been better

I asked him about that, he said evidently him and his buddy don't like to re-tie lures on the boat so they just take a handful of rods with different lures tied on
when I'm bay-fishing, I only have about two lures that I'll throw, and only take a spare rod on the boat when my primary has been "acting up".
otherwise, its a jig in the spring, toppie in the summer and fall, and the same jig from the spring during early winter till its time to wade for the big girls.
but come to think of it, I already have a big lure tied on that rod from last winter, so I'm set with tying lures until spring

Be careful of where you store that rig Robul: hacksaw + bluff vagrant = recycling bonanza.
BTW, I'll pass on your fishing invite in anything over 20% chance of thunderstorms. LOL.

lol well lets see..
4 are on the console for when 2 of us are on the boat drifting one on each platform so they are out of the way. put 4 more on the leaning post for when 3 people are drift fishing so those 4 are out of the way.. I have two on the front platform when we are drinking beer being lazy and fishing bait or sand pockets way down wind. 2 on the back tower so when Im up there poling or drifting I can grab one easily or swap out I will throw a spoon or a toppie.
now to break it down further.
3000 Stella - Soft plastics only used by ME
2500 stradic fi - popping cork with gulp shrimp or crab
2000 stradic - Buddy gets to use that one usually also a popping cork
4000 stradic - either a free line with split shot or carolina rig for fishing deeper water or drop offs.
4000 symetre - also a free line
4000 sahara - Only bring this one when noobs come alone so they dont tear up the nice gear
4000 saraha - same as above
3000 saros - under the humble bridge let my girlfriends friend use
chronarch 100sf - spoon ripping baitcaster 6.2:1 ratio
curado green leftie - my top water reel. Nobody better take my bone spook jr off this combo!
Topdog and Porkfetus wont let me go with them they say I take too much gear! lol jk. I can limit myself to only 2 if I have too. But on my own boat I want to fish not mess around with crap!

As they say in Texas, can never have too much aluminum, or too big of a tower!
