Pimpin your trap shack- share your ideas

[Rost]

Just put a new tent on the Guide and all of a sudden I love this shack again. However, the one thing that I can't stand about it is the noise it makes while fishing in the wind. The pole joints squeak, clinck, clank, enough to drive me insane some days. So I took a couple swim noodles and cut them to fit over the joints. (These already have a 1" groove cut out so the fit on the pole perfectly). I then used electrical tape wrapping them tight enough so I can still slide them, but still tight enough that they squeeze the joints. Hopefully this will at least dampen the noise. I will be testing it out tomorrow in 20mph winds. I know, this looks really stupid but if it works I'll be fine with it.

You also created a space to put the jigs that haven't been working that day. Hook them on the foam for a quick swap.

Just remember to take them off before packing up...
