Show me you're fishing pole bumpers!! I'm going to make one shortly here, just interested to see what you guys have done. Maybe someone will surprise me and not use PVC like i'm going to haha

I'm tempted to use PVC simply because of how easy and cheap it is but it has to look good. Also trying to think of how to incorporate it into a stylish bumper. I'm all over the place.

make a bumper that you like, with a hitch on the front. then just make a plug to go into the hitch recever. then you could even make it stick out more so your farther from the water, or you could make a bench. oh the options......

Make or buy one with a front receiver then make your own rod/cooler rack.
Here's the one I made.
