Re: DIY Rod Tube holder advice needed
Version 1.0. 3 rods right now. Gonna tinker with it and see what else I wanna do with it.
My original idea was the have that bar across the back connect to another 90degree elbow and then run a straight piece down into the water to mount a transducer on. Will probably start out simple like this and see how much more complicated I want/need to make it.

Added a horizontal bar on the right side to attach to the D rings. Seems like this is going to work and isn’t going to lean to one side or the other. Think I’m gonna let all the Rod turrets swivel. Cup holder on the front is going to have a magnetic dish mounted inside of it, place to keep baits and weights

Re: DIY Rod Tube holder advice needed
Definitely needs more rod holders, 3 just doesn't look like enough. But you can always add that later, that's the nice thing about PVC or ABS designs.

Yeah I think I’ll add a 4th eventually, until I get out and get comfortable I’m gonna try to keep it simple.

I'm pretty sure that most of you have seen this, but this is what I use for my Super Fat Cat. I'm happy to answer any questions on it.

Re: DIY Rod Tube holder advice needed
The Berkley holders are good...and generic versions can be found online for even less money.
As for the boot tray mod for the apron....I bought 2 trays (cheap as dirt on amazon) but haven't got around to installing.
It looks like you bolted to a piece of PVC to use the stock spreader bar pockets on the Cumberland, then just ran small bungees back to secure the aft corners? Simple...right up my alley...
I'll pretend my tube's not sinking
