Do you love big bluegill?

V-boat designed by Santa Ana Lakes' float tube star, Aaron.

http://www.fishinglakes.com/2011/03/18/advanced-float-tube-rigging-arming-the-inflatable-navy-for-battle-how-to-w-pics/

Will be using this frame design, incorporating transport frame for wheel, but with light modification to increase weight strength stability during transport.

Jen aren't roll bars to prevent injury in roll overs exactly what kind of waters are you fishing anyway.

Ha Ha Greg! However if anyone can build me a roll bar for my tube it will be LEO!

Dick,  you got it! I have to revise some of the frame's existing design to stabilize the float. The way the frame's design, it's to carry way too many items. I need to cut down on it quite a bit since I'll be using only two rods, mainly fly rods, while other equipment may be a net, but definitely camera positioning. This will lighten up the total load significantly. Yours, I would say just stick with 2 rods as well. Too many rods will just create havoc.

Tooty, I believe I'll call her Electra (all blue), the younger sister of Calypso. LOL I will surely add some rod holders on the left side of Electra for trolling the water. The right side will also have a holder tailored specifically for the fly rod.

LEO is the new Calypso #2? if so it doesn't have enough stuff on it yet and you should at least add some more rod holders!!!!!!!

I love it Leo I think I can see some modifications to some of the modifications but what a great starting point.

I checked out the link, Leo. Very cool.

ROFL Rollover bar/cage heh? Sure! How about adding a few UV spotlights at the top for night fishing?

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on October 26, 2012 at 7:13pm
