Welcome to the site. I like the rodholder attached to the float tube in the first picture.

Whereas in Italy when a fish reaches 6 / 7 pounds is already a big big fish I personally do not go beyond the 8-inch swimbait with ..
Often use the Platinum Series Castaic, rock hard, Catch22 ... And the deps silent killer, great bait! The river2sea Kong 168 ... And much more ..
Use spinnerbait from 3 / 4 with voluminous trailer, 6 inch jerkbait, jigs from 3/8, 1/2 with large salamanders or voluminous creatures .. 1 oz cranck bait...
Lately I'm also using the imakatzu javallon between algae, absolutely lethal but are too fragile .. I have to clone:)

I personally built with hydraulic material... Spending maybe $ 25...assembled with rivets..
Very lightweight and durable and easily applicable to the float tube...
When fishing with 4/5 rods becomes essential.. >/wink.gif" alt="wink" title="wink" height="15" width="15" />
If you want I send you some more detailed photos...

Welcome to the site. Nice pics as well. We would welcome more pictures of your float tube set-up! Great to see the Castaic lures made it to Italy.
