Ice Fishing pole holder

[Uintaman]

I am not smart enough to own an ice fishing pole, but I use a 4 foot ultra light weight rod. I would appreciate any suggestions on a simple rod holder, probably out of wood. I usually prop it up over my tackle bag. Thanks

You can buy rod holders pretty cheap 2-3 dollars. You could make one out of PVC pretty cheap, those two options are light, wood on the other hand weighs a few pounds more. If you have a lot of wood handy though, all you would need to do is nail a few pieces together and cut a "V" in one of the pieces of wood.

I have several different types that look great and handy, but I like the 5 gal bucket best. J

[#484848]I'm not sure if this is any better than your tackle bag, but it's about as simple as it gets. Cut along the black lines on the pvc for a quick draw effect, and carry a shovel in case it gets stuck to the ice.[/#484848]

Thanks, going Sunday to East Canyon. I do see on the picture some other contraption stuff, how does that work?

[#484848]That's just a bobber and a lure tool. It has nothing to do with the holder.[/#484848]

I've got a simple red wire clip on a bucket holder, then you can still sit on the bucket.
I like the Mr. Jiggees, but the Jigger Totter seems taller. Seen some home made models too. Just came across a Tip Down, and it looks cool, taller.

Nothing you can't do with PVC.

Please find the pictures of my ice rod holders attached [laugh]. I use 3/4" schedule 200 PVC pipe. You will need 4 pieces 3.5" long, 2 pieces 7" long and 2 pieces cut to desired riser length. Four 90* elbows and two T's. Glue the pipe into the elbows. DO NOT glue the T's. This is so that you can move them around as needed.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

If you get the bucket, you can drill a hole under the lip on one side. Big enough to fit the butt end. Cut a notch opposite to cradle the rod. Keeps it from getting pulled off the bucket by a hard strike.

That is a very interesting design, what dia. is the wire you used?

I really liked all your ideas. What I had at 3 am, is what dictated what worked out.

I like the simplicity of the slant-cut PVC holder above. Instead of the plank, I may mount one on a rear corner of my ice sled.

I like the additional height, and flexibility in your design (options).
One thing I've done with my wire - cut a wine cork in half, and slide each piece on an end of the wire.

Two benefits - allows me to control the spacing - so the wire can't slide too far one way or the other, but also adds a little floatation action, because I am SURE one of these days that wire is going to take a run for a hole. Had 'em pop of with some of my overzealous (read: wiff) hooksets.
