First crate / rod leash!

Made my first crate!
Added a handle in the middle for easier carrying purposes, can also be extended for more height or removed.

The rod leashes were super easy to make and I think they work pretty well. Made from old phone charges, zip ties, and small cable cuffs.

I wish I could think of all this stuff myself, but I followed the instructions on http://palmettokayakfishing.blogspot.com/

Pretty cool idea with the carrying handle.

those phone charger leashes are killer man. might have to make a few.. hahaha

Love how you heated them flared the ends of the pvc, so simple but effective and useful.  It is the simple things I never think of.

ah, the old trusty crate. I never get tired of seeing new versions. I love my plano, but the crate is just such an iconic piece for yak fishing.

Nicely done.

nice crate dan.

i hate having rod leashes; those things are so annoying. That's why i use the floats on my rods

i hate my paddle leash too but i don't want to lose my paddle out in sea 

Yes, we all (most of us) started using "The Crate". Eventually, graduated to the orange Plano box. Be careful with leashes. Keep them to a minimum. I only use floats on my rods.
