The Ultimate Umbrella Rig

Used it this weekend .... huge difference and didn't get in the way of fishing. Wind was around 3 -5 mph, when you want to give the trolling motor a break, just tilt the umbrella ...

Not exactly what I was expecting

That's pretty sweet

Let's see some close ups. Actually looks pretty nice for these summer days

I used three hose clamps and secured it to a seat pedestal pole. Umbrella pole is unmodified, it's two piece, got it from WalMart for $35, has a crank and tilt. Fits in the rod locker, less than a minute to set it up.

LOL... We have 2 of those, 1 front 1back... They do make difference in the right conditions..

Thanks.

HA I was just looking yesterday on Amazon for something like this. Thanks! NOw I know what ill be doing x2

3-5 mph winds?

It is never lower than 15 around here and most of the time 20+ so will it hold up then?

This time of year I don't stay in one spot long enough to put the thing up. If I don't get a bite in 10-12 minutes I'm gone. Now if I was crappie fishing that thing would work.

Uh....a big NO

In my younger days when I was worried about my image no, but I'm older now and don't give a chit what anybody thinks, now I'm just cool literally
