[RBW] Re: OT: carrying fishing poles on a bike

No pic; I fly-fish, and the segments of my rods all fit in a smallish tube, that I can lash to a saddlebag w/ the outer loops. I'll try to remember to snap a pic sometime. -L On Saturday, April 30, 2016 at 8:33:37 PM UTC-4, WETH wrote: > > As I recall, a few list members fish. My question,

Doh, I should have posted this earlier. In the 50s, there was a steel spring rod called the Stubcaster - it works pretty well. The grandson started them up again, this time emmrod, including his grandad's initials in

Clayton, don't be surprised. Trout have an IQ of 6, and even the smartest, carp, only have an IQ of 12 (at least this what I heard from Gary Borger, who said he heard it from academic somethings...) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners

My solution. I actually caught a rainbow with my Tenkara rod while bikepacking. Surprised me! Usually I use the fishing pole to just stand there and enjoy the

Joe, Patrick, Ron, Drew, Thanks for the help; I appreciate the helpful photos and links. Once the bike is complete, he and I will combine a few rides with fishing to help determine his preferences. I will update this thread with what we decide. Thanks so much for your help! Erl -- You

Re: [RBW] Re: OT: carrying fishing poles on a bike

Another thought for a 2-pc spinning rod is a frame bag - might talk to a bag maker like Randi Jo or Ely at Ruthworks. What I was thinking was a bag attached to the top tube that zips open a flap - maybe straps inside to secure the rod with the reel wrapped, then it zips around the reel with

Joe, I agree, baskets are Perfect - I'm just working with what I have. This had worked fine for me with up to a 35" rod tube. Most river-following roads are Fine bike rides - adding fishing is

Re: [RBW] Re: OT: carrying fishing poles on a bike

Baskets are great for waders and boots, too. If it's not raining they dry on the way home! I carried fishing pack in one basket and boots and waders in the other. Ron's is classier, but hobo fishing works fine and doesn't leave anything grab-able on the bike. Best, joe pdx or On Sat, Apr 30,

[RBW] Re: OT: carrying fishing poles on a bike

ps, with both panniers and rando bag, I can add waders and cleated boots, and wading staff, (and lunch) for fishing coldwater But yes, multipiece rods in tubes are a big advantage, 3-pc, 4-pc, 6-pc, etc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW

Hi Erl, I fish out of bags, Brady and Chapman. You wear these like a musette, but especially loaded for fishing, it's a lot easier to stuff them and your wading shoes in a pannier. This is a Carsick pannier, with water bottle sleeves on each end - they fit a fly rod tube perfectly.

[RBW] Re: OT: carrying fishing poles on a bike

I dabbled in Tenkara fishing, which is extremely minimalist and the rods collapse to two feet or less. I stuck it in my small saddlebag, sticking out the sides but strapped in. Worked great! Also I'd just use an Irish strap and strap it to the frame. With abandon, Patrick On Saturday, April
