I going to do the "Re-install Canvas" mod in a couple of weeks. grin

Seriously, though, I am going to look into some options for my Frabill Recon that I got this spring. Simple and light; that's for sure. A couple of rod holders/sleeves, better seat option, Reflectix, and divider tray/bungies to keep things from moving around. Nothing too crazy/heavy.

For anybody looking for a nice rod holder, Frabill has a nice one that me and a buddy both picked up from Gander this weekend.

It mounts to the metal bracket of your flip over shack and has a pivot arm that essentially allows you to move the rod any direction you want, rather then being limited to one position like many holders.

It also is nice because you don't have to bend over and grab your pole from off the ground like some other types of rod holders. Your pole is kept at waist level and is very easy to get in and out of the holder. I believe it was $10 or $15...kind of pricey, but one of the nicest holders I've came across so far.

I think the rod holders you are talking about are from otter and yes they look nice. I have had my eye on them for this year. I looked all year last year and couldn't find anything that I thought was very nice till I found these this summer on otter HSOforum.

MinnGuy, that is a great job! I love that MOD. if i get a nicer portable I may have to copy some of that smile

For now, I have a old Frabill Unltra Lite one man, with a few tears in the canvas. Not too worried about the tears, but was wondering how one goes about doing the reflectix mod. I think I saw some at a Big Box hardware store....

Do you people that have done it feel the difference, and how would I go about doing it? Also, I would like to see more pics too (dont wanna highjack this good post smile )

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
