Daiwa Carryall ideas

[steph mckenzie]

Hi all,

I have an old Daiwa carryall, i was just wondering are there any ideas how i can reinforce/ stiffen the base of it?

Thanks in advance

Varnished plywood placed inside to sit on the bottom.
Varnish is to waterproof it.

I have a cut-to-size piece of flat plastic which supports everything and is waterproof.

Dépendant on diameter cut a piece of drainpipe or rod tube with cap on and place within at the bottom. I use this method to protect the bottom of any rod hold-all against bank stickers etc.

It's a carry all Mike, not a holdall.

Whoops! A piece of varnished ply or carpet.

Good idea, but this is for a Carryall.

Good idea, I'll see what i have in the Attic, one never knows.

So, i listened to your ideas, and decided to see what i could come up with.

I had an old length of engineered flooring, that looked ideal for what i needed, i just cut it to length. Wrapped it in an old piece of Tarp and wrapped it in thick Gorilla Tape.

It is great, does exactly what i wanted it too, and was free as i already had the parts.

Thanks for your ideas.

Hi, sorry it's been a while.
I'm in good health thanks, and yes it's been a while.
Took a few years off from fishing ? but back on it again, but in a nice relaxed casual way.

Hope you are well and in good spirits ?

I stiffened up the base of a rucksack with one of those foam kneeling mats used for gardening. It was absolutly perfect...stiffened up the base, is waterproof and best of all weighs basically zero.

I imagine any bit of highly compressed/stiff foam will do the same job and its easy to cut to any size too.
