2 ways to make versa track Rod Holders

[@brickeyj123]

Thank you fishing n stuff I just ran across your videos last week. I've learned so much in two weeks I can't stop watching it. You without a doubt coolest coldest thing on KZbin today barnone and KZbin is the only thing I watch TVs bored

[@SK_CrappieCatching]

Aaahhhh saving money you bet and it looks just as good and is gonna work even better cause your pockets are still full..... Its amazing the amount of money some of the products cost.....

[@FishinNStuff]

You right brother , I can't fault ppl for trying to make money but they can't fault me for trying to save ppl money hahaha , always good hearing from you

[@chrischamberlain6817]

Man, I love your videos. I've watched a couple about things I never intend to do because you make it seem like we're hanging out in the garage, knocking some crap out, and having a couple cold ones.

[@FishinNStuff]

Thank you Sir , hanging out having cold ones is appealing lol . I appreciate you watching brother

[@glennscatfishing]

I don’t have tracks on my boat but I always watch your diy’s because they are always done so well and you never know I might learn something. Great job Kieth!!!

[@FishinNStuff]

Thank you Glenn I appreciate you saying that , someone commented that I should make a DIY track system some everyone can have one , lol really not a bad idea

[@kencleg7721]

They have tracks u mount check out the trolling set ups for salmon oh snap they pull 10 rods back there 1/2 use lead core line even have rod trees that mount that’s 6 3 each Hell Iam drifting and trolling stripers

You make it look so easy, and after following your instructions,I think I can do it now after visiting Harbor Freight . Great video as usual 👍

[@FishinNStuff]

Thank you brother, you can do it , hey I've got a great idea for a adjustable Tracker rod holder base kind of like my lady video I made . Click the bell or check back by I think you'll like it . Thanks for commenting buddy I love the feedback

[@FishinNStuff]

Hey buddy by the way you can just go buy you a tap / drill bit combo , the drill bit you need will come with the 1/2-13 tap , most hardware's carry em , that is if you don't want a whole set of taps . I bought a set because I make all kinds of stuff but I've ended up using the 1/2-13 the most

[@DieterMelhorn]

Dude. I hope you remember me when you're KZbin famous. You produce some great videos with a LOT of forethought in the production. Very impressive. I need to step my game up after watching this.

[@FishinNStuff]

How in the world can any ever forget you Dieter haha , my just joking . Honestly I just keep trying to improve my content because I really enjoy editing and as far as what you said about KZbin famous, well I'm not holding my breath lol . But as much as you know about videos productions , filming and everything else being what your job is that a real compliment and I appreciate it, we need to go fishing one day so you can teach me and increase my skills

[@bobwilliams9824]

Watched the bucket hack video and then subscribed. Really like your no nonsense approach of getting to the subject and not a bunch of BS. How about a video for a clamp on rod holder for a fiberglass boat? 1985 17' Procraft, dont really want to drill into the fiberglass if not necessary. Hard plastic or aluminum, a lip to catch the bumper strip on the outside of the boat and a inner screw down plate with maybe a rubber face to hold it in place. A clamp/rod holder of this type could easily be made not as wide to fit on smaller aluminum boats. Kinda hard to explain in words, I could draw you a pic and you could see what I am trying to explain. I'm over in TN, about 45 min from N.C. But hey, keep on with the videos! Great job!

[@FishinNStuff]

I have a cleat mount rodholder so you don't have to drill into your boat , im not sure if you've seen it its cool

[@JustTheTipFishing]

Great DIY video! I wish my boat had that system so i could make some.

[@FishinNStuff]

Thank you buddy , a cool boat like you got you should make you a awesome rod rack for that thing

I have an inexpensive kayak without tracks for extra rod holders etc. Have you ever made tracks for kayaks?

[@FishinNStuff]

I never have but that would make a great video . I'll keep my eyes peeled and be thinking about that buddy

[@davids7476]

DIY a whole aluminum boat, I bet your design will be better than most manufacturers, simple yet effective. I don't know if you ever ran across a KZbin channel called SVSeeker he is building a steel hull Chinese style "junk boat" . It is called The boat the internet built. People with skills from all around come together and volunteer labor and sometimes materials. It is insane and you should do a collaboration with that guy on a small design bass boat. I would do what I could to try and volunteer time when I am free, it would be fun to work on a project like that. Then do a give away with the boat, to a subscriber........like ME!

[@FishinNStuff]

That's a good idea man , I've never thought about building a boat but I have thought a bout giving away the things I build , the only thing that scary is some things I make are heavy so shipping gets high and ive done em in the past and if they sre outside of the us it gets really really high , but I'll check out the channel you were talking about , I think ive seen it honesty and I might just have a give away soon too

[@davids7476]

Yeah, my wife and I tinker with some online sales and shipping will eat you alive on anything over 5lbs.

[@FishinNStuff]

Have you watched my rod rack videos ?

[@318android3]

Great video! Is the aluminum angle one strong enough to not bend the track or snap off w a big fish? Stupid question but want to be sure before I make it

[@FishinNStuff]

There's bo stupid questions brother , it's pretty dang strong is like 1/4 " the Track on my Tracker was thinner than the Rod holder base sho I would say the Track would break before that Angle did you know , I've never had a problem with it and it looks great too and it cost maybe a quarter or 50 cents at most to make , thanks for watching brother any more questions just ask

Rod holder mounts for pontoon boat rails? The driftmaster ones don’t hold well, and are so narrow they bend rail when you get a fish 35lbs and bigger! (Trolling/snagging spoonbills with divers)

Wow! I’m so disappointed in myself. Just got 6 Monster rod holders From Amazon, 3 that were 33 degrees and 3 that were 45. Finally got drill bits and tap/die. Drilled it all out. Only to find out after all that. The 1/2-13 rod holders have left hand threads. I put right hand threads into the bracket....oh my... plan B

[@FishinNStuff]

Really mine are right hand threads ? I wonder if they make both for some reason like insulation purposes, I sure would have warned ya if I knew brother

It must be nice to have an actual shop and not just a garage.

[@FishinNStuff]

It is man, and I don't think im better than anyone else but I wanted one to most of my life. But just would do it . Said I couldn't afford it. Then when I got to my mid 40s I told my wife one day if I wait any longer I was going to be too old to enjoy it. So my house had very little owed on it so I refinanced and bought it . Thing is though the metal buildings aren't a quart of the price of a stick built it really shocked me how cheap it was . I should have done it a lot sooner
