Anyone have any simple/cheap mods for fishing/skiing?

Just step away from TW. It is bad for your wallet, esp once @Bertw192 flips down the licence plate. . .

Fair warning and all that.

 

RCI hidden hitch rear and SSO Slimline front.

Got the rear from @Truck Brigade. No tax collected and free shipping. 2 weeks from order to delivery. Best price bar none.

Front was an 11.5 week wait, but I love it.

Looking is free... flipping the plate will cost ya.

 

What about using the hole? Really expensive, I imagine.

 

Oh man... it's never been used, so yeah, if you have to ask, you can't afford it.

 

Bed extender for a kayak. Put some lights and reflectors on to be safe and legal at night or in the rain.

 

Building the drawer didnt cost to much, but the cap was a bit more.

In the winter I have my 3 sets of skis stored in the drawer. Come summer I have my rods and boxes of lures stored in there.
I had 2 rods get broken that were laying in the bed when something rolled over on the eyelets.

 

i dont have pictures of it, but I use to mount my poles in my thule ski rack since I had them on there...

 

Rod holder for a bed rack I made this past weekend.

 

Specs on the Rods and Reels?

 

I'd have to double check when I'm back home to be completely honest, but most of the stuff pictured is either Shimano, Daiwa, or Abu Garcia. I like Shimano reels for my ultra-light setups that I use for trout. I've always been a fan of Abu Garcia reels as well because they hold up. Then the rods I buy are typically Daiwa just because they are reasonably priced and do the job for me.

I just picked up the baitcaster you see in the pics because all of my bass gear got stolen awhile back. It's the Spartacus model by KastKing. It has really good reviews and I watched a few review videos that were raving about it so I figured I'd give it a shot. At only $43 I figured I couldn't go wrong.

Yeah I'm more so into catching bass than I am trout or anything. Shimano makes a damn good reel. My current bass set up, albeit extremely overkill is a Shimano Ultegra and St. Croix mojo bass.

 

I have the ski version https://sportbumper.com/ of this https://sportbumper.com/products/sportsman-bumper and its awesome.

 

Mmmmmmm..... st. Croix....

 

Great reel! I had one of those stolen as well as a Shimano Symetre. Probably my two favorite reels at the time.

 

What type of rear bumper is that? Does it have BSM?

 

How much time are you standing there that its needed? I grab my skis out of the bed as I'm walking away and good to go. I never lean them against the truck.

 

It's more for my wife with her skis and poles.
