Sabiki Rod Issues
Well, I made one of those PVC pipe Sabiki Rods to try and save some money. It turned out OK but larger mackerel have been causing grooves to wear into the PVC. I couldn't find anything to put on the end to alleviate this problem, so I made something. I'll be trying it out in LJ next week. I took a large beer bottle and cut off the top, ground down the edges with emory cloth, and heated the PVC with a heat gun and stuck the beer bottle end inside. It was slightly loose so I put a hose clamp and some duct tape around it. My wife just said, "Go buy a sabiki rod". I guess it was the challenge of making something work that kept me going. With my luck, the glass will break while transporting it to the beach.

Use the rod you made and buy another one that you really want and just call it your Sabiki Rod ![]() |

The epoxy sounds like a good idea. I'll try it when my beer bottle top breaks. So does getting another rod and calling it a "sabiki rod". This site is full of great information. Thanks guys. I'm thinking an ULUA sabiki rod maybe.

Drake, thank's a bunch for sharing your idea. Today I went to Home Depot and purchased five lids and five of those cups, it cost me $20.
I made a few improvements to the tops and cups. 1st I took a file to the ridges that are on the lids, filed them down to minimize the amount o pressure it takes to open the lid Before ![]() After ![]() Next, I took a round file to the cups and filed down a small section to help pop open the top. ![]() ![]() I compared the amount of strength it took to open an off the shelf piece to one that I modified. After the modification it took about half the pressure to remove the top, filing down a section to get a grip with a finger really helped. Again, thanks for sharing ![]() Bait cages are baited and in the freezer ready for the next ![]()

No problem Jor. Looks like you got the different cups than the ones I got. I went with the slotted ones because the green lids don't actually go all they way in, and it makes a little more room for bait. Also, I know it probably won't matter but I figured with the slits in the bottom their would be less drag when pulling them up. But agian, when its packed with bait I don't think it will matter. Let me know how those work. If they do I might make the switch because they have a lower profile by about 3/4"

10-4.....I forgot to mention that I used the ones that have the closed bottom, no need to have bait spilling out of the bottom.

Made a small modification to the nets to better accommodate the pucks.
One came loose last night so I wanted to come up with a better way to secure them. This is what I came up with. I cut the string that holds the tag ends of the netting together which forms the opening. Then I weaved a short bungee in the loops and zip tied them to the lower ring. I cut the end off so they wouldn't rust and get hung up, then burned the tips to clean them up. The bungees cost $2.94 from home depot. Took about 2 minutes for each hoop. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Just thought I would share a picture of the double kayak storage stand I made with 1 1/4" PVC. Pretty simple and works perfect.

In-hull transducer mounting. Works perfect.
Used plumbers puddy to create the ring. ![]() Filled half way with goop and tape in place. Let stand at least 24 hours. ![]() Remove the puddy. ![]()

For those with Malibu Kayaks you know how difficult it is to reach the front pole holders. So I am gonna try this to bring the pole holder closer to me.

thought i was innovative by adding tennis balls to the cart so the yak didnt rest on the cross bar... then drake told me the black spacers are adjustable...
![]() so if you dont have the spacers and dont want to buy them. add some tennis balls... these ones seemed softer than normal. ![]()

I found that those "adjustable" black spacers on a Hobie cart work perfectly: They self-adjust right to the bottom the moment you put the kayak on.
I added a one-inch section of PVC under the black spacers. No more slippage. |
