Garage Rod Rack

[RiverSlabber]

Well, I didn't get a chance to go fishing this weekend but I did get the garage organized a little. I really didn't want my rods just leaned up against the wall near the door into the house. Frankly I'm shocked they haven't fallen over onto a car or been bumped bringing groceries in all summer. So I decided to get a rod rack to keep them in.

Decided to make my own rather than spend $20 on one from Gander Mountain. All together I spent about $8 on PVC pipe, hooks and the bungee. (already had the wood scraps and screws). Turned out pretty good I think. Makes me realize I dont have many rods though.

The entire rack is 3 ft long, two levels. The PVC pipes are 8" long and cut at a 45 degree bevel on top. They are about 3" apart but having them staggered lets me overlap the space for the reels and get more in. I need to get one more piece of pipe but when it's done it can hold 12 rods or nets. Not bad for a few hours work during the kids nap.

That'll work...until you get a boat and start spider rigging! Haven't counted lately, but I'm north of 50 rods and reels.

Thanks for the comments guys.

freelay, Im trying to convince my wife to let me get a kayak, let alone a boat (though id love one). Someday though. Plus spider rigging isnt quite the same in illinois as it is elsewhere.
