HOW TO ELASTICATE YOUR POLE

You mean the porta-bote? I have the 12 foot model with a 5 HP Tohatsu and it is an excellent boat. It moves much faster than an aluminum boat of the same size because it gets on a plane so easy. And although the floor moves under your feet due to the bendability of the material, it is actually unsinkable. They say it will float even full of water, which I thought was a load of bull. Well this summer my brother and I were fishing it it and a jackhole water ski boat went too fast too close to us and swamped us. The boat went totally sideways and filled almost all the way with water, but it went upright and stayed above water the entire mile all the way back to shore. It took forever to get there too because a 5 HP moter is not meant to push that much weight. We made it though!Zorro;589330; said:Thats cool and all but im not doing it. O well. But i was checking out that site and they have that fold up boat. Does any one have one of these cuz to me i think its a rock waiting to sink
people tend to use the pole a lot in fishing matches because they can target a swim easierfishrmann2;590209; said:Glad I don't live in the UK! This would be a pain to do! I'll stick to my $300 St. Croix Legend Elite rod, with no "elastic" to absorb the feel of a bite!
