Awesome Video Bob, couple of questions for you. What's on your right side that is holding the pole after you catch something? What is holding your net in front of your iPad? Are you left handed or just prefer to reel in with you left, is there a "float tube" benefit? Thank you!
Hi Hunter - On my right side is just the tube pocket. What's happening is that I'm flipping the tab on the reel that lets the reel go backwards to give me line and then I'm just letting it rest in the open pocket. My net is being held by a Castmate pole holder that's down and off to the side out of the way. It sticks up straight and the net drapes over it. I'm right handed. I've just always held the pole in my right hand. A personal preference, I guess. I think it's fairly normal for spinning rigs. It's nothing to do with being in the tube. I hold my pole and work the reel that way since I was a kid. My personal preference is to have the right side of the tube unencumbered with anything sticking up to get in the way of me casting. But I know plenty of guys who use rod holders on both sides, so it's definitely a personal preference.
I'm going tubing for the first time this Sunday, and this is where I was planning on going. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks for another cool video, Bob. I can't get out for a little while, but this helps me get my "fix" until my next float 👍
Looks like a good day right there man.
