Float Tube Fanatics Fish Finder Mount

             We have been advertising the Float Tube Fanatics over on our Float Tube Fishing Forum and I want to just give a plug again to them for a great company and product.  They have been building these fish finder mounts for a few years now they are very well made and make a very simple and compact unit to house most any fish finder.  What I found to be the best thing about there product is that everything is all combined into one spot.  The battery for the fish finder is secured in the box which mounts the finder and the strap that holds the unit to the float tube also mounts the transducer.
           
              But now they have taken this one step further and made a fish finder mount system for small boats (ie Aluminum boats or Canoe's).  There design is just like the float tube mounts but instead of a strap to hold it in place there is a strong magnet and clamp to help mount the transducer and Battery box.  They overall mounting system is just like the original float tube design but just adapted to fix the need of the small boater.

              Wade of Float Tube Fanatics is one extremely nice guy that is always willing to help you out.  He is always ready to answer any questions you might have and if you decide to purchase a unit for your float tube, pontoon boat, and or Aluminum Boat / Canoe you will not be disappointed.

Big Horn by Classic Accessories

The Big Horn from Classic Accessories, I just pick 2 of them.  Wow this basic tube is more than just basic, it is a great stable fully thought out u-shaped float tube.  A friend of mine has this very tube as his first float tube, and was very happy with it from the start.  It is always in his truck and ready to be used.  He also owns a Cumberland which is is first line tube, built by the same company (article on this one to come), but when there is a slight problem with a friends tube, here he comes with his Big Horn.

From what he has said and what I have seen this is not beginner float tube.  It can hold up to 250+ bls, and comes with plenty of storage on it as well.  It rides high in the water which is good as it does not have the stadium seating, which is not a down side it is just the style of this tube.  Starting price is about $150, and if you look some times you can find it for less. If you are an avid float tuber and need a quality back up.  Or a true fishermen just looking to get into his first float tube, then look into this one.  I am going to have fun truing this bad boy out.  Once I have tried it I will get back to everyone and let you all how it went, Tight Lines.

The Trinity Float Tube

I dont really ever have a chance or place to do this, but I would like to try it one day. The Trinity Float tube system is designed for the float tuber that needs a light wieght tube that can be back packed into remote locations.weighs only 8 pounds. It features 5 air chambers, 2 large gear pockets, an inflatable stripping apron and a mesh cargo deck.

I dont think that it is much to look at but that is not what it is for, alot was cut out to keep it light and able to fit in to a back pack along with it pump. Made my Outcast you know thit it is quality and going to last. The only problem I can see is the cost $500 to $600 this is not a starter tube, but well worth a good look.

PVC float tube rod rack plans.

I had spent a lot of time tiring to find some body to help me make my own rod rack. There were people out there to help but in the end I had to design my own. I found that it is not very hard to do in fact I had my completed in just under about 1 hour and made or of 1 1/2 “ PVC piping. So I thought that I would post here on my blog how to make the one that I use. This is a rough drawing of the rod rack laid out in pieces with some rough measurements. I think with some time and imagination this can be adapted to fit most float tubes or kick boat. If you have comments please leave them and if you have plans that you would like to share with others please let me know and we I will post it up here as well.
