Carrying a fishing rod.

[Rabb]

I saw some photos on an american forum where someone had made a bracket under his left exhaust with a rod tube, i suppose i could investgate sommat like that... I'm guessing that theres nothing commercial available!

Looks like bikers aren't generally fishermen then? Lol

I dont have issues carrying the rod on my pushbikes, the only issue there being practical range... If i wanted to go fishing to, lets say, shearwater or somehere further than that, the time and effort involved makes it impractcal.


I'm quite a patient person however when I last tried fishing it was for about an hour.
Got bored, went home. Sorry not for me.
Now fly fishing is a different matter (especially if you are in the water) - this for me I think might be a bit more interesting
Looks like i might have to ask on a fishing forum!

telescopic rod???
works for me ;D

Looking at those, but one that's long enough (10 ft plus) packs down too long to go in my bag.... Am considering some sort connection to my box bracket

TBH would be very easy to rig something up on your bike for this, but i have seen (and got) telescopic rod's longer than my 2 or 3 piece rod's.

Cheers dude, I've got at least one Idea, but I'd be grateful if that doesnt work!
