Re: rooster tail

As a kid I remember this trick. But we didn't have the back of the can cut completly out; just a few quarter sized holes all over the can.

Re: rooster tail

too easy...... a rigid three point harness would work....the small aprature at the trailing end would probably shoot the tail farther....but a rigid harness is the key.

after i get done my project... ill give it a whirl......it will be fantastic for jet fleas

Re: rooster tail

Has anyone tried tieing the string to the boat under water, on a fish finder bracket or something?

Re: rooster tail

This post is still going around! How many people you think are towing around soup cans as a result of this thread. I'll keep my eye out for you poor souls with soup cans.
I think someone should run two inch PVC along the side of the boat end that pipe with a 1 inch reducer going to a 45 angle out of the water. if that doesn't work nothing will and this thread can die a humble death. :D

Re: rooster tail

Nah, we was sniped real good on this one.

I think some are harboring paybacks, unless we see it.

Myself realizes I have been had. Good One.

Re: rooster tail

Ok guys (don't mean to be sexist, but this seems like man stuff :D), you all had a long weekend to try to figure this one out.

Lets see some action pictures. Come on now.
