MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
That's a good idea Fat Boy. I've used Slamco coiled rod-holders in a somewhat similar fashion in my Frabill Ultralight but I just don't have the width to mount them like that and use 'em effectively. Either the rod, rod-holder, or both are either rubbing against my leg or the side of the shanty. For light-biting fish, I like to lift straight up with the rod instead of out and up as you have to do with most rod-holders. Great for keeping your rod secure and not going down the hole, but I want that "quick draw".
That model is always available, but that gold metal band is a little pricey and really restricts your ability to fish for most guys.
That is exactly what I have been looking for princecraft. Mind if I copy your design to make my own?

These are the ice rod holders that I made. Folds up and stores easy.(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)
