Great Accessory for 1 man Flip-ups

[ASATMillerbluegill]

This is called a Side Baiter. It slides between the poles in your flip-up, and holds your drink, pole, bait pucks etc. The rubber securing straps they provide are junk, BUT, you don't need them any way. Duct tape placed on the poles, makes them rock solid and MUCH easier then using those junk rubber straps. I have one on my left side and one on my right. These are PERFECT for my Clam Scout TC. Thought I would share.








Duct tape wrapped around the pole, so the U shape of the Side Baiter receiver fits in snug. Then a thicker wrap below the 1st duct tape wrap, so the Side Baiter can't slide down the pole.


One of the bucket style rod holders will work nicely in the tray too.

Thats just what I was thinking I needed over the weekend. Was thinking of some way to make something up.

Bluegill, I bought one of these two years ago and agree they're great for keeping things off the ice or around your feet. I like the idea with the tape because those rubber bands can be a PIA, especially with cold hands. The other part of that is the rod holder that clamps on to the poles and kind of swivels with the rod held in a cradle. Again keeps things off the ice and away from my big feet. Way too easy to boot them down the hole. Thanks again for the tip.  Lou

what an awesome idea....I believe that will work on my fish trap guide 2 man as well...the pole angle seems identical

I forgot to add a couple of pics showing a rod holder in the console. They are in the 1st post now and here as well.

such a simple idea...is there a store near you I can order one online from?

[ASATMillerbluegill]

U could try the makers website, or I bought mine at Scheels in West Des Moines,ia.

Ebay is the only place I have found online, and my GoogleFu is strong tonight! The one for sale there do not show the wire rodholder. Don't know if they are included. $16.95 free shipping.

Quick ? Hows the shanty fully open with this cup holder thing installed???

[BIGJim223]

It seems it would be a pain to take it off/put it on every time I fold the shanty. Good idea, wrong placement for me, I guess.

Big Jim, You are right. If you flip your shanty back it needs to come off the supports or at the very least emptied. I have the Shappell Rover 1.5 so not a problem for me because it has a zippered door. Also for those looking for one. I think I got mine from Red Rock in Ely, Mn. As posted earlier that was about two years ago. I didn't check their site tonight.  Lou
