Now, I know that most of you are big time bass fishermen...but, for the very few who might like to eat some catfish now and again, I thought i'd show the little gadget I made to hold trot and jug lines when I'm fishing by myself.
I have some V-Cleats left over from my sailing days so I mounted two of them to a plywood scrap of wood. Then I mounted it on an empty oar socket.
I can loosen the nut and turn the holder around so that it doesn't stick out should I be messing around in brush or timber!
The V-Cleats keep the line from slipping out of my hand when for some reason...like having to rest from all the effort of pulling in a monster catfish...I have to stop pulling on the line. :lol: It is also handy when baiting a line to be able to let the line drape over the side of the boat, while the weight of the anchor weight is held in the V-clamp, as I reach for more bait.
It works! :lol: :lol:
