Cool.  Good way to recycle old screwdrivers.  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

I am surprised no one else has tried this. Did you just drill a hole and epoxy it on there?

Good thinking! You can recognize your reel in the rack.

Daron, I'd love to see you with something about 8 ft. Long on the end of the line and an epoxied handle ::) get that one up on the sand! Great idea,maybe some kinda mechanical attachment though?

Very creative guys, love it!

Here is what I came up with:



The knob was made from a Corian sample.
During my latest tests with the Jigmasters, this one was the most comfortable to use at high drag settings.
Thanks for sharing......lets see some more from others.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.
