Another hook option for tail storage

[Elodea the Mermaid]

I just received and mounted this hook (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GOHE0Y?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00) from Amazon. I like it because the bars are set wide apart, which is good for the wide foot pocket on my tail. Also, it is fully assembled, cost effective and mounts to a stud with just one wood screw. I added the foam pool noodle to protect my tail. The bars fold up and out of the way when it is not in use. It is meant to hold two mountain bikes, so it is quite sturdy, and there is probably room for one/two additional tails on here as well! I use the extra space to hang my tops to dry.

What a great idea!

How well does your tail balance? I often find that my tail will flop over forward (I have a tail stand, but it has the same kind of hook deal). I've fixed it by extending the vertical notches - on yours they are the little white parts - but sometimes it just decides to go where ever it wants to :p

It balances quite well, but my tail body is suuuuuper heavy, so I think that has something to do with it. Also, because they are more bars than hooks, it's not right up against the wall, so I'm able to have the fluke out from the wall an inch or too and lean it back against the wall, so it's not really balancing. If that makes sense.
