Humpalumpa

#1 Post by round_ourway »

Im looking to modify my Humpa and was wondering of any guys on this site have done so.

Im going to add a bait tray, monopod and rig holder. I have got a couple of cost effective ideas on how to achieve this but wondering if anyone has got there before me.

cheers in advance

I messed around with the idea of customising my humpalumpa since the day I got it.

I have been trying to find the cheapest way of doing. So I have been collecting bits and bobs.

Please see the photos below.

The materials used where;

- my existing bait tray
- 16mm clothes rail
- 12mm pipe clips
- M10 Bolt, Nut and washer
- Epoxy glue

The only thing I am concerned about is the glue so I used loads to create a protective layer.

The only thing that cost me money was the m10 bolts that were £1.50 for 10

Cracking Job there mate,

All you need is a tripod head somewhere and you have a great little fishing station. Great to see anglers with a bit of ingenuity, fair play

would it be possible to cannibalise the parts from one of those electric golf trollies so the Humpa can power itself with all your stuff to the beach?
