my rod storage - pics at last

[CHRIS_aka_GWH]

i remember a post - that I couldn't find using the search - asking how people stored their rods - now that I've entered the digital age I thought I'd show you mine

[CHRIS_aka_GWH]

its 100mm clear pine with holesaw cut holes and jigsawed 45degree cuts. A eye-screw in the top to hang it on the wall on a hook

Nice tip, we should all take a page out of your book on rod care.

Looks Bloody beautiful, All I need is to find the room to bolt the racks on.

Good job Aj

Mine are stored in racks on the boat. ;) ;) Less handling. I don't do many different types of fishing.

CHRIS aka GWH - that is fantastic! Well done! :)

Mine sit on metal wall hooks horizontally like that but not as classy. I have been thinking about updating the arrangement. You have inspired me to do the same.

Now that yours are up and working, what would you recommend as the spacing between the rods - ie the holes, please?

[Jeremy]

upright storage is better for the rods if you have the height. They will ultimately warp if there is any uneven pressure on them horizontally.

just measured it properly


its 70mm x 19mm clear pine with 50mm holes drilled every 100mm along a line 25mm in from the edge.

Pretty easy stuff, from go to whoa the longest period of time is spent eating hotdogs at Bunnings :D

The spacing was designed to fit my surf rods on ONE wall because my surf boards are on the other. The surf rods use three of the racks as support.

if you've got the dollars a set in Kwila (the outdoor furniture wood) would look special.

In retrospect, the ideal situation would be a spacing between holes to suit the reel on each rod so the reel above doesn't lie on the handle below - i didn't have space to accomodate this.

Hey fishing milk --- my other halfs prized posessions are in their own spot it the dining room in a movable rack like to ones in tackle shops - will take some photos and post them up I love fishing almost more than he does so there is no other place they should be.. like trophies on the mantle piece.
