Tidying up "Fish Truck"

Post by Priceless »

I've got an old Ford pickup with a cap I bought when I purchased Priceless. Needed to be able to carry tackle and all my crap without it banging around. Picked up ratcheting cargo holders and did a little work with bungee rope and swimming noodles. After five years the noodles were crumbling so time for a refurb. Too rough to fish today so I tidied up the rod holders instead. Works great holding eight to ten 30-80 class rods with Yetis and fish bag and anything else underneath.Notice the window sticker-gotta support the team.[img]https://i.imgur.com/KX8t42D.jpg[/img[img]https://i.imgur.com/IyDqKes.jpg[/img[img]https://i.imgur.com/l8jLDML.jpg[/img[img]https://i.imgur.com/dASTx27.jpg[/img[img]https://i.imgur.com/2yDTYBM.jpg[/img]

That is a nice set up. Pool noodles beat using foam pipe insulation. They are thicker and protect better. You can also use them to hold rigging.

Either Lowes or Home Depot. Get the ratcheting ones not the one with the pull out positive lock. The ratcheting ones are easier to use and can be made tight.
