New float tube fishing system(rack)
I just wanted to share with my fellow tubers my friend's (Kirkboat) system he has designed. I know it has been seen before on here and I just wanted to show mine off. I love this thing and am blown away by the detail he puts into one of these. It really is a piece of art as far as these go and if anyone is intersted in one he will custom make them to your needs. Here are a few pics. (Comments below pics)
These are pics of the first version Kirk made for me, after fishing it a couple times I realized I wanted my sonar mount a little farther back so he re-adjusted my left side and in the following pics you will see the difference. Notice location of pole holders and the sweet bends on the front tubes and the transducer mounts.......pretty cool, eh?
Notice location of sonar mount and pole holder.
These things are really light and notice all the room left behind the seat. Like alot you you I have had many different types of racks, from crude homemade things for my old Caddis tube to Aarons sweet design for Outcast boats. This one is so far my favorite.
These systems utilize the Bass Pro rod holders which Kirk mills and seperates and uses seperately, pretty friggin sweet.
Notice the rivets? Not just glued but riveted too. No nuts and bolts holding the sonar mount anymore....rivets. And that little aluminum nut you see (with small cable leash)is what the back connects to on the rear D-Ring with a specially mounted eyebolt.
The rear two ends can hold rods or a net if ya want and Go Pro mounts can be added for those of you who like to video yourself. If anyone is interested in one of these beauties feel free to send me or Kirk(kirkboat) a pm we will be happy to answer any questions you have. Tight lines and cheers
