DIY Bicycle Rod Holders made from PVC

[@KnifeCrazzzzy]

Now we’re talking! Good ole classic Marty ingenuity!!! 🤘🏻thank you for the inspiration as always brother! 🙏🏻🤙🏻

[@iJacker]

I never thought to flare the tops. I did, however make mine with slots so they don’t spin around - wide slots for baitcasters and narrow ones for spinning rods

[@rixbox1]

Nice shop Marty. Glad to see you doing the stuff you did before. I always enjoyed your your old project vids.😁

[@idaklymr]

I've missed this type of videos from you. I like your big boat vids but I love your fabrication videos

[@paulvsalas]

Awesomeness is comming. I knew that jet motor had to come back. Awesome. Can't wait to see that. Very cool Marty.

[@agentorange2554]

Love your fabrication videos. Unlike starboard, I have access to PVC and came up with ideas for a bunch of projects. Thanks, man.

[@kens1039]

Another great video, Marty. Can’t wait to see the turbine mod!

[@JohnHernandez-mc8kk]

Right that's flip awesome 😮

[@SD-ft6gs]

Marty this is why I started watching your channel, way way back when you had the cheap red Kayak!

[@davidmcglone409]

Why am I inspired everytime I watch Marty? 😁

[@pokinatchapunkrawk]

Cool idea! For those who have a "Robocup". They work great for carrying a rod clamped to the fork leg.

[@shawnstjohn3831]

Gloves Marty. When working with hot objects, gloves are truly a blessing 😉

[@RoofAndAMeal4UsAll]

Bicycle stems often use a similar mechanical technique in steel, you've done it in the novel medium of PVC. Clever as ever Marty!

[@victorsummers2283]

Color coordinated with your tires -sweet!

[@trevorkraklow4100]

Thanks for sharing another great DIY video!! So looking forward to the jet bike videos!!!!!

[@averageeverydayfishermansh4501]

Can't wait to see Marty in a remake of the movie Back To The Future where he takes his jet bike back...or forward...to a different time and fishes and shows us old and new kayaks. Think you will hit 88mph on that bike Marty? LOL!!!!!!!!

[@zoffinger]

Dude. I just hope my ponytail doesn't get sucked into the intake before it reaches idle speed!

[@averageeverydayfishermansh4501]

@@zoffinger True. Safety...well, not first or maybe even seventh. But who really cares about that. LOL! Can't wait to see it.

[@cheza7061]

You really are a handy guy!!! Thats great for your bike.😎🎣🐟

[@lighthouse7ry]

Thanks Marty You just gave me a great idea of making a Bimini top for my Gheenoe classic . It’s been hard trying to find a top for it around Tampa bay ! Keep up the good work

[@flo-calfishing8274]

Marty Ive been following you a long time. Early on, I learned so much info and education from your YT vids. From my kayak Trips I’d always catch fish but wanted the sheeps. You showed me techniques to harvest that species. Thank you sir. My family eats well when its fish night dinner.

[@toniakoontz5369]

This is great. Now I know how I want to mount the rod holders on our ebikes.

[@lewn3495]

What an absolute game changer. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@johnbuschman8815]

Hi Marty, even if it is someone else's idea, you always profect it better. Nice job. You seem to be alot more happier and grounded being off the big boat, especially for the pups. Good luck. John

[@Grumpyneanderthal]

I’ve been designing a PVC claw I want to attach to an extendable pole which I will use to create an opening in water hyacinths pads to catch sacalait/ crappie. This was helpful…. Thanks

[@vladfish]

You are a freaking McGiver, and Love it man.

[@frankkelly2245]

You’re a great inspiration Marty, sorry u didn’t make it up to Great Kills last year, I’m sure it’s in your future.

[@Mr.63.]

Great Video. Keep them DYI videos coming. very enjoyable!

[@jessebillett]

Thanks for this! This is a great idea, and your results are beautiful. My fishing-addict kids are finally just about old enough to ride their bikes on city roads with their fishing-addict dad. I found your video while looking around for ideas for secure and convenient ways to carry our rods on our bikes when we go to our local pond. If I attempt my own version, I'll probably do what @iJacker suggested below and cut out a slot in each rod holder so that the reel can sit lower and not swivel. I may also add a bungee cord closure so that nothing flies out if the bike hits a bump.

[@d.faulkner8210]

great video! Hopefully that jet engine won't melt the fishing line on your way to the next fishing trip. lol

[@deltabassslanger2291]

Been following g for years but just found you again! I’m hyped!

[@robertrichards5686]

Awesome project! Only would suggest to add a slit or a place to help secure the reels in place to prevent them from spending and getting caught in the wheels! Great job though and the ending was a real cliff hanger! 😂

[@richiec7602]

I didn’t know how easy it was to heat and shape pvc. Got to go to Harbor Freight and get a heat gun. Gonna make some rod holders for my bike. Thanks for your video.

[@r8edrv4fun65]

I love how you followed up all the classic sayings with one from Homer Simpson 😆

[@RobbsHomemadeLife]

Hey Marty, you make the best DIY videos. You made working with PVC look so simple. I purchased a $249 refurbished E bike a week ago and am going to attach one of my old rod holders to the bike. I also have a collapsible rod real and inflatable chair I can carry on the bike. Everything fits in the back seat of my Corolla. I hope you do more do-it-yourself videos. Everything you make is always solid, but has a nice design to it.

[@zoffinger]

I've been watching your videos, Robb.

[@RobbsHomemadeLife]

@@zoffinger thanks Marty. Much appreciated.😀

[@lesabre1972]

I'm glad to see you you inspire me alot and I have been that way my whole life you help me get new ideas ,tools, and supplies great video keep it up. Thanks

[@jshenderson]

Ah thanks for the tutorial and the insight. I knew that motor was on there for more than just show.

[@twohandsworking896]

great hack marty

[@FrankLadd]

What a nice shop Marty!

[@tripledoregon8513]

awesome video Marty. I miss your DIY creative videos. Keep being you man.

[@earnestmatlock9694]

Thank you Marty, I enjoy your videos very much. The realism of real world trial and error is very good and tells us to have patience and something to hold on to that hot pvc than our fingers and hands. I can use your proven dyi methods to build amateur radio antennas, using far fewer fittings and reduced cost and building as making it more of my design, (and yours) and make contacts and conversation across the globe 🌎. I been looking into really light weight outboard motors and also trolling motors intended for kayaks. Weight on the transom end must be very limited also if electric trolling motors are used, still have battery weight. I have been looking into LIPO4 battery technology. It is far lighter than lead construction batteries used in sealed gell cell deep cycle and old traditional lead acid wet batteries. You need a fairly high thrust from a electric trolling motor to get you off the water with pop up thunderstorms. I found a 2 cycle 4 HP air cooled low cost 21 pound with onboard 3/4 gallon fuel tank on Amazon. It's just about the same money 💰 compared to the electric trolling motors, but there is no batteries to deal with and charging up. Just carry a half gallon of 2 cycle mix fuel ⛽ and of course the oars and PFD, whistle and small fire extinguisher, to keep somewhat safe and legal. I would be using freshwater, but on the largest inland lake in Texas. Lake Sam Rayburn. It can get dangerous ruff in 3 minutes or less. Protected coves are the plan. Great video and we learn from your videos as well. Thanks Marty. 73 GOD bless Earnest K5EWM.

[@Nunya9876]

That’s a neat little project there! You can add a piece of pool noodle to the fluted end of the rod holder, to protect the rod/.reel from getting scratched/dented. Also, you could use bungee cords to hold the rods in place to prevent them from “bouncing”out of the holders. You could also mount the holders to a crate, and cut a little groove/slot to make the rod stay snugged into the holder.

[@doctorkayak]

Houston, we have LIFT-OFF!!! I hope you can string this on for more that one more video. There has to be more mods coming for that bike. You are going to have to carry a tackle box and bait and lunch... Koozie holders?

[@AB-dw3he]

[@atlfisherman3413]

Before you started the process, I was thinking 'where did he get those extension arms from?' Another amazing DIY video Marty.

[@ratdog3055]

Pay attention to the rod holders! You do not see the jet engine attached to the carrier! Can't wait to see how that works!

[@RobbsHomemadeLife]

Hey Marty, I went ahead and posted my video on my rod holder and gave you a shout out. I am going to be doing some more fishing videos with my bike. There are a lot of bridges a person can fish at but there is nowhere to park a car to access it. With the bicycle in the car. You can get close to the bridge and park and ride the bike to the bridge and they can't stop you from fishing.

[@zoffinger]

Awesome thank you!

[@MrKeenaz]

Good job Marty. But I see a fault. You need to cut slots to stop the rods from spinning about in there.

nice i want to make these for my mini grom motorcycle now. i like riding to the lake but it gets annoying carrying the rods in a backpack so i need to do this asap lol. though i barely have time for anything.

[@magicbox9371]

Love it! Love the hair, the shop, the vibe, the kick stand, camera and post work, the shoes or lack there of, the actual content, inspiration to complete one of dozens of unfinished projects , and I love how you didn’t ask me to like the video before I even saw it. As a viewer (YT is like Punk Rock ~Your biggest fans spit on you ) it is my job to explain in great detail how I am smarter. Why is it not 3 rods on each side? Is it because you got a whimpy motor and a crew cut? Get a white pencil. Get a center kickstand. Get a shotgun (They come with ear protection). Get more footage of the widget in use. You got to ride that thing all over hell n back before you never ride it again. Take it out on special occasions like a Dead Show or 4th July you know…..parade it. Now this next comment is going to hurt but you will heal into a better person…..bro you got spray paint and sharpie why when I ride behind you do I stare at two gawdy silver screws and washers? (Feel free to blast me, I heard interaction in comments stirs the algorithm and I know I’m ugly say what feels good or I hate you, wana go fishin?lol) 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

Hey Marty, you make a ton of creative stuff out of PVC. I am trying to make a mount for my stern light, but ½” PVC is too small and ¾” is too big in diameter. Think heating the PVC and using the stern light rod to stretch the ½” to the right diameter would do it?

[@MrMpr27bk]

Pretty kool

[@moretoliving2236]

Marty, just letting you know that despite being your subscriber since indefinite forever ago.. youtube has not let me know that you have posted anything at all in last 7 months so this is me catching up from this video forward. I attributed not being notified about videos due to you hanging out here in FL in the camper and then spending time with friends and stuff and then to NC... obviously keep an eye on FB posts but I am literally 7 months back in videos because I figured there were none. I guess youtubes does not like us watching your content. Sigh.
