In another thread under "Freshwater Tackle & Tips",
http://www.ncangler.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1079 (Catfish Juggin' Noodles) , I shared the Catfish Noodles Seabiscuit and I made. Wellcraft Dave suggested starting a list of Pool Noodle Uses.
Dave, let's get it started here. Before the Cat-Noodle (pictured in the thread linked abaove), I used the large sized noodle as a cushion block for transporting the canoe on top of the car. I cut a 5 foot noodle into 4 equal sections & split them length-wise. I then slipped the noodle sections over the gunwales of the canoe to provide padding between the boat and the car roof. Dick's sells canoe blocks for $20 - $25 vs. one large noodle for $1.87 at Wal-Mart. Cheap & it worked well. I love the noodle!
