Carrying two spinning rods
« on: July 08, 2010, 09:34:23 PM »
  •     I have three spinning rods – and when I go  fishing I like to carry two of either a 6’, 8’6’  or 10’ depending on location and surf  conditions. My problem was always having to leave one on the rocks or on the  beach while using the other. So I came up with this solution
     
    I took (what some of the  hard men in KZN) call a “vaalie bag” and cable  tied a light PVC pipe on the side. I cut a slot into the pipe which holds the  reel in place so that the rod does not hang loosely or rattle around.
     
    I have looked for an alternative to the  vaalie bag – but found nothing yet – I may just make one myself with the right  compartments to suit the kind of tackle I carry (and other stuff)
     
    So now I can walk with both rods – and change  any time I want. Makes life a lot easier!
     
     I keep thinking of  carrying all three rods – but that’s just being silly

great thinking Ziggy...but quick question does that rod not get in the way at time with casting and so on?
A wise man once told me life is to short for ugly girls and cheap fishing tackle!

I cast on my right - never a problem

That is a very good idea Ziggy. How much is a vaalie bag?

I bought it about 4 years ago - it was less than R100 if I recall
