Rather than further Hi-Jack of the other post I am starting a new one for you H3 owners.
Here is the optional apron for them. They are very rigid which is nice. The foam and the graphite rod help in that. And they are a nice basket shape.
[inline "H3 Apron 3.jpg"]
I removed the Graphite rod to make it more flexable. The graphite rod is in the curve of the Apron and easily removed or replaced.
[inline "H3 Apron 8.jpg"]
Scadden suggest to attach them to the velcro straps on the bags.

Larry Tullis suggest attaching it to a belt on your body so you can swing it to the side if need be.
I took the rod out so you can scrunch it and I attached it backwards with a bungie and the first two rings on the front of the tube.

So you can see you have many options and the stripping apron can also be used on Pontoons. Any Pontoon.

[black][size 3]Good looking apron, I like the high sides.[/size][/black]
What is the width of it? How does it attach if you don't do it "Joni style"?

It is 34" wide by 21" deep. Give or take an inch.
There is two velcro loop about 4" in in each end of the straight part. You undo the loop and attach it to the Velcro straps on the inside of the side bags on the tube itself. I tried it, but it sits on top of the bags and too high to me so I turned it around so it sits in my lap.

I wished I could answer that right on the money, but I am a guide. I am going to guess $40 to $50, but I could be way off.
Mac....no flop, it is still kinda rigid with the foam walls. It just lays in my lap and I can rest my elbows while stripping the line in.

Maybe a crock, but the price of the H3's did come down and this apron is delux. You don't need an apron with this, but it is nice.

Oh yeah. The balls out of Yarn. That was from a tier in Idaho.
Not sure what it represents, but with the dumb bell eyes it should sink. I think that the colors are because fish key in on White and Chartreuse.

Im thinkng a piece of white or green bread floating at or near the bottom should be entcing for a bottom dweller... maybe a carp or catfish...

Hey Macfly55. if you get into a bind as to what to add, you can always get some yarn in a jar. Ask FG about it. It comes in about 30 different flavors and colors.[cool]

] I did not mean flopping literally...guess better way to say it is that end is loose or not attached as the other side is... sorry for the confusion...
