"I only have a couple of rods so I am toying with the idea of a 3 rod rack making the front tube angled forward to use as a troller."
[cool][#0000ff]There are quite a few tubers and tooners who have rigged their rod racks with a forward slanting tube on the front to hold rods while trolling, bottom bouncing or soaking bait. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I have mine rigged on both sides and adjusted so that they angle slightly out and at a lower angle over the water...just right for walleye drifting or bait dragging. With both of them thus angled, it keeps the two lines further apart when I am using both.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]But, if you are only trolling with one at a time, it does not matter, and it is both handy and space thrifty to combine rod rack with trolling tube.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Be sure to post a picture of your final design.[/#0000ff]
