I'm trying to figure out a good, safe way to get my fishing pole tied on to my bike. I've thought about the things I used to have on my 4 Wheeler to strap a rifle to the rack, but I've never seen them that would mount on the handle bars. I'm not sure that's such a good idea anyway. I can get all my tackle in my back pack just fine. Just not sure what to do with the pole.
Any ideas?

Heres a thought, take a piece of pipe or pvc pipe and make a rod holder similar to a flag holder. Figure out a way to clamp it on the rear of the bike and just drop your pole in and fly it like a flag. Or if your fishing pole breaks down you could again make some sort of small tube it will slide into and mount it across your bars. Just a few thoughts.
I know enough to get me in trouble.

I would velcro it to your CB antenna. Easy on, easy off.
If you're south of the Mason/Dixon line, you must have a CB. Rules are rules.

LOL Luke! No CB on my CB. I gave it to Piute. :)
I've seen the Ronco's. But I'm wanting to get my fly rod out this summer. I never really learned to use it. I should probably be working on Hackjob, but its hard to get motivated when I have a road worthy bike already.
Barely, we're on the same page it seems. Kinda what I had in mind, just not sure how to execute it. Across the handle bats would be easy, just afraid I'll snag something (mailbox, limb, passing car...)and kill myself.

It would have strapped onto that nice sissy bar on the Chopper.  TOOLS

 Don't rub it in dude. I was talking to my buddy,Roscoe,that works with me and he said the same thing. I saw that bike going through downtown about 3 weeks ago. He had it all wound up and it sounded awesome with all the plate glass windows around  Looked like he was having a good time with it. It definitely found a good home

Have you seen how cops in cali mount their shotguns to their bikes? Something like that should work. Similar to what barely suggested.

That is what I was thinking, a PVC pipe capped on both ends, one that threads off... mounted like a scabbard along side you from frame neck to tail light... or maybe mount a strap on it and carry it diagnal across your back...
My Fly rod is an 8 footer that is two piece, but I have seen 4 piece ones for traveling.

Mine is actually like the second picture Hoosier posted, although a little larger and with a shoulder strap. I have a small kit that fits inside, and I sling it across my back. I can look to see who makes it if your interested.

Wearing across my back would be fine as long as it would fit along with my backpack,which my tackle box would be in.
The PVC tube is a great idea but it would take an awfully big piece of pipe to hold the reel,too.

Take the reel off, and put it in your backpack.
