This is what I normally do jimmy!
But having a sabiki rod that is solid that I can just hide away in my holder on my pa just seems to be a lot neater because I will make sometimes 2 or 3 times when I go out. it would be easier to do that then just having to hassel with free sabiki hooks

Where I end up making my own rod I will remember this for an Idea

Also for those who have a little problem with all the extra sabiki hooks hanging around like I do when I use a full sabiki rig try this.

Take your sabiki and cut it in half.
Use only 3 hooks and put a swivel on both halves can make it safer and a saver then having to deal with 5 hooks floppin around with only one greenie on there.
also you save another sabiki when a hook gets messed up.
I will put pics up of this idea eventually just don't have any sabiki's on me right now.
Hope yall get what I am talking about here!

Thanks again to echo1er for that idea of melting to down to round it!

@Yakin when melting it try and make a mushroom effect. So the top part is round after that sand it down with fine sand paper and then polish it.

Is there any big reason why you used all rivets on that extra pocket except for the top two? or did you just run out?

no reason at all. The top to screws came with the mesh pocket. The rivets is cause I finally got a rivet gun and I rivet the shit out of my kayak.

Sound like me when I finally got a rivet gun and rivetted the hell out of my bait tank!
