Pole Clips

It took a little trial and error but I was able to come up with some DIY pole clips for the boat that
1. Hold the pole in place while motoring or trailering.
2. Don't interfere with the option to row
3. Don't cause a line snagging issue from for the bow caster.

Here is how it went...

1 1/4" Schedule 40 PVC...

...worked out well but I was a little concerned with the strength of the bolt hole area.

UHMW - great stuff

2 identical for the bow and stern and a mirrored version for the midline

snapped tight...and doesn't mar the pole

Sturdy with just enough spring to POP the pole in.

Good clearance so it doesn't rattle on the road.

Revised Bow version...

...snaps down when fishing and doesn't grab line.
