Arrgh..Congrats on the new spear matey, sounds you been bit by the flounderin' bug.
The two buckets are just cut with a normal hand saw from the side not the top because the plastic is moulded stronger and thicker at the two faces and thinner at the sides. You just drill a hole at each corner of the bottom, silicone around the holes and bolt them together. The handles of both are facing away from each other. The Pipe is 90mm and bolted at the point where it touches the long sides of the floats and not at the ends.
I also though of that rod holder idea, but scrapped it because it will be more trouble than it is worth, with both hands full and a rod you have untangle/unhook (assuming you catch something other than a toadfish). Sorry to rain on your parade ladey, but I don't want you to get tangled and frustrated.

Fresh air, tight lines, scales, slime and fins, 'tis the salty sea dog life for me. Arrrgh!
