:LOL: headcase..always the joker. He's right Payduck. 4" PVC lined perpendicular to one or two 1/2" PVC support, strapped with two 1" straps you can get at Walmart for $2 each. There are plenty of tubers with major mods that you can get some ideas from. Plenty of designs. Suggestion is not just strapped it onto the tube. Have it slips into the 4" PVC to stabilize better.

I think i'm just going to modify my current PVC rod rack.

I am going to cutoff the T joint that is holding the net in this picture and adapt it from 1-1/2" to 2 or bigger (i will decide at the hardware store tomorrow.

Thanks for the help guys! ill let you know how it works out.

Suggestion: since you have so much on one side, focus the FFB on the other to ensure proper balance. Too much on one side can be detrimental to your tube's stability.

You are totally right! i didn't even think of that! Ill be building something for the other side tomorrow then.

Thanks again!

I think you've encourage a few others to have similar design as yours. I saw a red and a yellow tubes has the close proximity to your setup, but has 3 rod holders (1 vertical), with 2 vertical holders on the other side. Pretty sick setup there Kelster.

That is what I have on other side, room for (5) rods total, I just took the middle one on right side and installed 4" PVC rather then the 1 1/2" for the FB. I can't take credit, I got the idea from Sapdawg (Aaron)of Corona Lake fame for the PVC rod setup just modified it for my needs. The whole thing is explained at Aarons corner on their web site. Works great for me since I can pack two rods on the tube when I have to strap it onto my back to get it down to the water.
