    Well here is my latest invention, just finished last weekend.

    I designed this because I do a lot of whole hopping for gills and never have everything I need on me without having my hands full. So here it is. Hole Hopper v1.0. Let me know if you have any questions. The fish tray is the part I am most proud of. An easy way to take fish back to base camp after a run. The only thing you can’t see from the pictures is the 1″ of foam under the vex, helps keep the battery warm. Also I have added my soft pack back onto the vex after taking these pictures.

    Guessing this would be a marketing scheme to get you to buy 2!

    All it needs is a rear view mirror so you can read the vex.

    Just guessing but if you’re hole hopping your aren’t doing much sitting, just bouncing around. It’s just an easier way to transport everything. Neat idea.

    Well this isn’t designed for sitting on but can be used for that if you need a break. Or my other use is I can take if from hopping holes to using it in my fish trap in seconds and have all my gear with me to fish inside or out.
    Normally when I’m hole hopping I’m on my knees and am finesse fishing. I usually don’t spend much time getting to comfortable sitting on seat unless they are really biting in the tent. Gotta be mobile, plus I think I have ADHD or something on the ice sometimes!

    Looks good, but where do you keep the beer?

    You need a bottle holder screwed to the side.
