My Cumberland

Here is my 3yr old little baby sporting a freshly made rod holder. Planning on using it tomorrow at the salty gathering!



...weapon of bass destruction!





...some of my guns

Very nice

very nice, what type of baits are those ?

Mc's

They all look good.

what size pipe did you use? looks like 1 1/2 inch.

I think you Ed, and Phil should call yourselves the cucumber navy.

Nothing yet! I plan on setting up a FF soon and a camera in the rear to get some good bass action at this one spot i know produces well!

Sweet set-up!! I am wondering if there is another rod holder set-up on the other side? and is the rod holder shown in the picture is strapped or tied down on the bottom? im digging this set-up!!

i looked at it real close and you can see he has it tide down at the bottom but not sure with what. it is a nice set up though. the thing about abs is that it is cheep enough to change thing around if the setup you come up with doesn't quit work.

Looks like it's tide down with bungy (sp) cord on the bottom side

Yes it's bungie cord to the other side.

I really like your setup, I want one similar to this. gotta teach me this wiseguy!

how much are these pipes?

Awesome set up man! Hey try wacky riggin them zipper curly tails you got on the drop shot out in the salt. I caight halis spots and calico doin that at dph some diff the fish havent seen.

if your talking about the rod holder, hit up LOLLY, he makes them and sells them.

o ya my tube should be here today or tomorrow cant wait

That looks like a well made and thought out rod holder wiseguy. Do you see any advantages on using a vertical rod holder verses that lays flat on the water like the ones outcast makes?

If you fish calm water the lay down rod holders will be ok. For the salt you want your rods to be in the upward position since the water gets sloppy with more waves. By having them up, you are keeping your reels further from the water to prevent them from getting splashed and soaked.

Also something another member told me is that it is difficult to maneuver in tight spaces (docks) with the lay flat rod holders. You won't be able to work tighter areas without bumping your rods around.

That's why you get the best of both worlds with the rods off at a 45 like that. They are somewhat vertical to keep your reels away from the water but at the same time they are not straight up which allows you to go under lower clearances (bridges)

I could'nt have said it better myself. Thanks Alfredo.

p.s. by the way SBBassdude, Alfredo sells these allready made.

Thanks for the clarification....that makes total sense now.

How are you liking the Cumberland? Wasn't sure if I wanna get that or the odc420.
Thnx in advance

What type of flippers are those and how well do they work ?
