I have built some of my own ice rods. build summertime ones too along with pour sinkers and jigs. don't do ice jigs as I use tungsten in the winter.

Made an ice hopper this evening after dinner. I used a couple plugs for my power source so I can go back to my shuttle and bag real quick when im planning on fishing inside. But on nice days, this should help my hole hopping a bit.

Made suit case type pop-up fishing hut long before the manufacturers did, just never thought to patent it.

Made a few jigging rods and pour my own jigs.

5 gallon bucket sits too low. so i have cut the bottom out of one bucket and liquid nailed it into another. slap a little padding onto a lid and have your own custom bucket. have made several for friends as well.

Here is a flipover sled I made a few years back. Have since changed the sled out with a jet sled.

I make all my inline panfish rods, I haven't found any company that makes anything decent. I get all my blanks from St Croix or Mudhole, make my own black walnut handles and buy bulk spring. Only thing that is not custom is the reel, it's a HT inline.
