A SIMPLE ROD HOLDER | |

A SIMPLE ROD HOLDER
By WM. HERWIG
Desiring a rod holder for trolling, still-fishing and the like, I set about to make one. In a plumbing shop I found a piece of tubing that just slipped easily over the butt of my rod. This I purchased for the enormous cost of five cents. Next I cut off the tube to about seven inches in length and proceeded to pinch or flatten one end with a few blows from a hammer. In this flattened end I bored a hole large enough to accommodate an ordinary thumb screw. Now all I have to do is to screw my bit of tube tight to the edge of the boat or pier, stick in my rod and I am all set. Where it is not desired to screw the tube tight, a bit of string may be run through the screw hole in the tube and tied to the boat, I find it best to have the tubing of such a diameter as to allow the rod handle a little play.
