At Home Rod Storage 2024

Blues19 reply :

How do you all store your rods at home? I was considering making a rod holder from PVC Piping, but have not come up with a design I am comfotable with. Anyone have a homemade rod holder?

masterbass reply :

I just bought a rod rack from gander mtn. like the ones they use (round). I think I paid $40 for it and I'm very happy with it. It holds like 20 rods w/ reels which works for now.

Goose52 reply :

I have most types of racks in service:

Round rack and two Berkley 5-rod plastic racks:

Home-made rack - holds 9 combos:

The "Princess" rack inside the house... :

The "rod box" for car transport and also at-home storage:

SirSnookalot reply :

2x4 with hooks, hang them vertical.

S Hovanec reply :

I just chuck my rods in an old trash can......

.....and my reels in a cooler.

Sam reply :

Rod racks with all reels removed from the rods stored inside my house in my man cave.

No rods and reels stored in the car due to the extreme weather conditions.

Sam reply :

Ataris41, all rods are stored standing straight up and not bending or touching the wall.

That is a major goal to have when designing and building your own rod rack.

Posts pics of what you come up with.

I use coated bicycle hooks hanging from the ceiling into the garage, screwed into the studs in the attic. Each hook will hold about 4 rod and reel combos.

I'm pretty sure this is not the advice he was looking for.

No offense..ha,

But these pictures make me wince. Are those Stradics in that cooler?

lmbfisherman reply :

Mine are in my furnace/basement hanging on the wall horizontally held by metal hooks. Hooks are wrapped with felt material to protect from abrasion, plus the rods are in rod gloves. Each set can hold 4-5 rods. My reels are in a cabinet/cubby sitting on top of a towel that is placed on my custom tackle storage system.

Stingray23 reply :

My stuff stays in my room. My reels are in a dresser draw.

ATX reply :

I believe my wife would like to see me put my rod and reals in a trash can! Never going to happen though!

It's a mix in there. Couple Sustains, couple Saharas, a few Stradics, a few Chronarch SF's a CI4 and an old green Curado.

The rod pic was just a joke. That's my bone pile for repairs.

Here's one of the 5 various racks in the basement (this one is actually my Wife's).

Gotta get me one of those. Awesome that your wife has that many rods too!

The rods aren't hers...just the rack. She won it last month at the ICRBE. Her rods are on one of the other racks in the background. I'm using it as a build/repair staging area for ones that I'm working on. There are some pretty good sticks on it tho. 5 SCV's, 2 SCIII's, a SCIV, CTS, Sage One, RX8, couple RX7's, a Seeker and a Hi-Mod MHX.....and a few repairs in the back row.

If that doesnt show the photo then I dont know WTH I am doing. and I will just leave it at that.

Edit: sweet it worked.

kingkong85 reply :

The left side is where I got the idea. Right side is mine. Since I want to use what I had around the house. I used my prescription bottles and zip ties.

What a cheapskate way of doing this...I LOVE IT! Seriously your awesome for using things from around the house and saving th from the landfill etc. I love projects like these when you can make something useful with life's scraps.

Thanks. It was really simple. I had a 2x6x8 lying around so I just propped it up on the baseboard in the garage and used a 1.5 inch paddle bit and went straight down on the angled board to hold the rod butt in place. The top is a 1x4x8 painted black that I put screwed into the studs and then got a fun noodle at Dollar Tree for $1. I cut the noodle in half and used some quick dry glue that the wife had for crafts. The holes in the base are 4" from center to center and the slits I cut in the noodle are every 4 inches. I stole the angled base design from the one Goose made. I had all these materials lying around and the noodle was the only thing I had to buy. You could honestly get by with mounting the noodle directly to the wall and just putting the rod butts on a 2x4 that is on the floor, but I liked the spacer between the noodle so the rods were perfectly parallel to the wall.

I want to do something like this so bad. But my basement ceiling is right around 7 ft so 80% of my rods cant be vertical.

I have one of the cheapo okuma rod racks.

I have it split into two and mounted to the wall in my shed. Not the nicest thing out there but it was cheap and it gets the job done.
