Here is a shelf that I built to fit in my QuickFlip. I made it 7.5" wide so it will hold the sidewall out and stop it from flapping in the wind. It is very sturdy, I can put my full thermos, gloves and spare rod on it and it does not tilt at all. Works better than I expected for such a simple design.(Image removed from quote.)
The combination of the two poles going through the 1" & 2" boards are what keeps the shelf level...it is important to have the pole holes tight so the shelf does not wobble on the poles.Here are some better pictures of the shelf installed. You can see in the last picture how it holds the outside of the tent wall out and tight to allow for more room inside and to stop the material from flapping in the wind.(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)
Great shelf! I'm gonna have to make me a couple before the season gets going!I've seen the smaller ones they sell commercially but I like your design better.Good work!
Here is a picture of a gaff that took all of 3 minutes to make out of an old paint roller.Its nice and short for use in the flip over.nice gaff have you tried it out yet? How strong is it when pulling up a big fish? I have a few of these laying around in my garage. I think i might make one this weekend. Nice thing is you can even hook a pole to it to make it longer so you don't have you stick your hand in the cold water.

I came up with this one, if you look at my other posts you will see how well it's been hammering the walleye this year!So far I've taken pictures, blueprints etc. and mailed them sealed to myself to prove I designed the idea. I am currently in process of the patent search and patent pending verification.I would really like to find a sponsor, such as cabelas, frabill or somebody who might be interested in mass production and getting them on the shelves!Anyone with advice in the matter would be greatly appreciated
That's exactly like mine, only different. .
Here is my latest and "greatest" DIY project. (I have my frugal New England heritage to thank for this napkin drawn design) Its a Knock off of the Jawjacker style rigs.Made from stuff I had hoarded over the years: (2) 12'' lengts of oak flooring, 1.5" copper pipe, 1" square aluminum stock, misc hardware.They are nice I hope your selling them to your bait shop
