Hey Guys,

Santa brought me a new Fish Cat 4 for Xmas and some waders. I need to know if anybody has any ideas for inexpensive homemade pole holders for tubes. Can anybody suggest a cool site with tube accessories?

congrats on the tube. What i did is buy a rod holder like the one below and get two bungee cords. Tie them up and your set. Less then $15 total. I got the 4 rod holder though.

These are awesome. Many people w/ tubes I know have one on each side. There good for trolling, or just holding your rod when not being used.

Whoops lost the link sorry. There the strap on ones that strap around the bladder. There anywhere fro 15 to 40 bucks.

I used 1" schedule 20 PVC for my pole holders. Make sure you use schedule 20 and not schedule 40. The walls of Schedule 40 is thicker, which means you'll have to use 1.25" PVC. Since the walls are thicker, it'll be heavier.
