The Sabiki Sleeve
No more Sabiki hooks flying around with the Sabiki Sleeve. "Installation" took 10 seconds. That is cutting the pool noodle with a knife. When you're done with your Sabiki, just wrap it around the pool noodle making sure each hook is secured into the foam, and store it in this container. It also fits a sinker weight and small iron jig if anyone's using one at the Sabiki's end (I do, as it goes down faster and the iron jig flashes catching bait's attention). Close the lid and you're ready to go. The rubber ends are flexible, so if you wish, you can add a small ball bungee cord on the bottom's end and secure your Sabiki Sleeve anywhere you like while launching/landing. Total cost: $6. $5 for the plastic holder (found at any local Home Depot stores; NOT found on their website for some odd reasons). Called "Viewtainer Slit Top Storage Container 2.75"X5". And $1 for the pool noodle (Walmart). Look outside in the garden section. Last edited by filippo; 07-01-2017 at 06:10 PM. Reason: Edit |

I like it Filippo. I've tried wrapping my sabiki around several different things, but nothing as neat at that. Thanks!
BTW, I use a small blue & white iron as the weight at the end of my sabiki, and I've caught several fish on the iron, so it does more than attract attention. I caught a jack smelt, corvina, bonito and several mackerals. The hole in the noodle is perfect for that. I'll take two!

Thanks guys!
Mr. NiceGuy - I believe you. Once a mac ate my sinker weight and it passed through his gills. It was pretty funny. I guess we really don't need hooks. Anything shining works. Bob - I buy the Mustad Sabiki Bait Rig, SBM-30, from Walmart. Used the same rig about 5 times and still going strong. |

Costco has offered nice quality stadium seats for the past couple of years for around $14. What you do with it depends on your own creativity and mechanical skills.

Nice idea! A little piece of hypalon will also work and takes up less space. |

Hey Dgax65. I'm new to this forum. Had to say how nice your wiring is. Clean and waterproof. Looks like you are using heat shrinked butt connectors too. Nicely done.

Another year on doing well
Well, despite being doomed to corrosive failure, the box is still going strong. Replaced a fuse once after letting her sit a while but the o-ringed covers on switches, goop on case rubber switch covers faul, and liberAL use of dialectric grease on the buss inside has kept her looking new. Run lights fishfinder, bait tank and marine radio off it all day with no issues.

Cold Steel Boat Bat - Made for Kayak Fishing
I started out using the Cold Steel Brooklyn Shorty after testing it with the guys at Cold Steel, and it worked great, however I gave the guys at Cold Steel some feedback and they took my feedback and came out with the Boat Bat. High Visibility Orange and a hole for a leash, not that its necessary since it floats, but so does my radio and I still managed to lose that at Montana De Oro.

FWIW, they are awesome on bleachers, which is what they are made for. My bony butt on metal stands can only take so much, but a weekend-long waterpolo tournament is comfortable. |

Hobie Revo Stability Mod
I built this mod from foam and carbon fiber to improve stability and extend my range on the water a bit. The bait tank pumps, 45lb thrust trolling motor and fish finder run off of 4 CALB 100 AH LI batteries. The open areas on the wing will be home for 200 watts of Sun Power Maxeon solar cells to recharge on the water.
