No Hook-Ups, & no Beach-Spike Req.
Image 1 Shows soft plastic tubing covering my pre-baited hooks and sinker to avoid unwanted hook-ups in the wagon while driving to my favorite fishing spot.
Image 2 shows the rods ready to have the tubes removed. Of course this works just as well with a beach-spike.......NOTE the Bumper-Rod-Holders (2nd hint) also mentioned below.
Image 3 Shows the tubes removed and baited ready for business. This system gets you into the water quickly and before your mates. Note the 2 Rod-Holders in the front bumper, great for beach fishing. Note the two submitted original inventions. So if I win, to avoid any hassle with my Fisho-Wife, Please send us a pair of your glasses to each of us. Thanks Jim, Regards Dan & Gloria.
