Bought myself a rod rack

I ordered a 24 rod , rod rack hoping to get my rods a little more organized .
I put it together this morning and at first was very disappointed in it .
The instructions were pictures and very minimal.
The upper and lower rails are height adjustable and I had my bottom rail too high to begin with .
After checking pictures posted on reviews, I realized my mistake and lowered the bottom rail .
It now holds 12 bare rods in the back slots and by alternating the reels in and out , I’m able to get 12 of my “go to” rods in the front sots .
Now I only need about four more of these . :)

Awesome. I have one similar but I'm not sure if the rails are adjustable on mine. I just shove them all together to make them fit....lol. Yours looks much neater alternating reels in and out.

Definitely looks great

Thanks guys . It’s a start to getting things organized.
Beats leaning them along the bookcase.

Congrats!

Your rod storage is beginning to look pretty good.;)I have 'em hung up on 2 different walls AND on hooks in the ceiling in my boat shed.:)

I have the same and I dislike the design. Since it doesn't actually have anything securely holding the rods in the top part I have had several rods straight up fall out of the thing. Also don't like that is double sided. I would rather have all my rods on one side so I can push it up against the wall. As is it takes up too much space.

I use the back row for rods without reels .
I bought some elastic cord and thought if I experienced any problem with rods not staying in , I would run a piece of cord across the top using a loop at each end to hold it in place .
It’s better than what I was doing , just leaning them against the bookcase .
They were always getting tangled up .
So far , all of my rods haven’t moved .
I’ve ordered a second one .

Update :
I made a simple loop in the ends of a piece of elastic cord , it like mini bungee cord .
Slip one loop over the end of top rail , ran it under the rubber rod spacers and slipped it over the other end .
Works perfect . Puts just enough pressure on the rods to hold them in place .
The second rack came today , I’ll probably put it together tomorrow.

Looks like it’ll do the trick. I’ve built a few similar to that and they work good. Hope they do what you need.
