Easy, quick , double rod holder mod for hummingbird flashers

[fishinfey8]

While sitting at JWmiller's house today, we found ourselves wondering what type of constructive things we could do to make our ice fishing outings easier. Since we both are the run and gun or ice trolling type it, we focused on improving this type of fishing. After looking at the flasher, I held a rod up to the side and initially thought a ziptie might work. After mentioning the idea to miller, he quickly went and grabbed some industrial velcro. Fifteen or twenty minutes later, whala! Hope you guys think it's as cool as I do!

Supplies Needed

we cut the velcro in half and made 2 strips (only 1 is shown in the pic)

cut a notch out of one side of the strip, which will give you two smaller pieces(measure width of handle on sonar). Press the adhesive sides together, leaving a the sticky side exposed

leave one strip whole, and stick the adhesive sides together, making a ring around the bottom. Then take the other strip and stick it to the hummingbird at the level of your desire. Make sure you make it so that the padded side of the velcro is to the inside.

If you do it to both sides, you have two nice rod holders for hole hopping. Miller said he has pulled every which way possible and they don't fall out. Also, there is prolly many ways to do this mod, but this worked for what we had. I'm not great at explaining this so maybe miller can better explain it.
