[QUOTE="DearJon, post: 306319, member: 9078"] Thanks for the compliment, fishingmich. I got the oversized cup holders at West Marine, but you can find them at Boater's World, Bass Pro Shops and other boating supply stores as well. They come in super handy, especially in the summer. Without a coozie, your drink will stay cold for what, 3 minutes? I got the fiberglass poles from an online pipe, plastic and metal supply store. If you do an Internet search for "solid fiberglass rod stock", you will find many options. Look around for the best prices. Mine were sold in 12' lengths, but the shipping costs for something that large are ridiculous. The company I purchased from offered convenient "cut to length" options in order to keep shipping costs down. That worked perfectly for me, since I only needed 8' lengths anyways. I ended up with a 4' piece of scrap that I'll probably never use, but it was worth it. I love these things. No more fluke anchor. I fish shallow water mostly anyhow, but if the fish are deep I just drift for them. Cheers, and good luck. [/QUOTE]
