Now heres a thought....

Hi,
A few weeks back I was paddleing new ground and really wished for a map. But a map is so hard to fold up and store somewhere.

There just had to be a better way. :idea:

Coming from a commercial design background, I scribbled some ideas down - getting inspiration from one of those pilots pads - ya' know...

Anyway - this is the first draft of what I have come up with.

This attaches to your thigh - and opens up when required. 8)

Side (A) is just a map case - waterproof, and you can use a special pencil to make marks.

Side (B) on the left {upper} are two double sided pages which I use for checklists, planners,etc

Left {lower} is a bellows pocket which holds a pack of SP's - and on the outside, I take a few jig heads, hooks etc.

Right {upper} a spanyard special

Right {lower} - another pack of SP's and 4 HB lures, big enough for a long Bomber or similar.

Obviously there are a few areas I could improve on, but this will certainly make fishing from a kayak a lot easier from my perspective. My most commonly used lures close at hand + my checklists and a map of the area - all makes for a more sucessful trip out I reckon.

Pics will be posted asap.

What do you all think???
