DIY Rod rack and tackle storage

Put this together last week, current format holds 12 rods and a decent number of extra utility boxes, I could add up to 6 more rod holders no problem, but purposely left one side free of slots so it can be placed flat against the wall.

1-1/2" abs, a file crate, zip ties, and some foam from an old camping mattress.

finished product

sorry for low quality shots, pics taken with my ipod which is not exactly new.

great idea I have rods and reels all over the place....on my way to get the pvc
thanks for sharing.

thanks for sharing, starting one this weekend

that's a good idea! who needs those $300 fancy ones if you can do it for 20...

Love it!

Thx,

Thanks for the positive comments. I saw a few different ideas while researching rod storage options, and chose to hybridize 2 different ones I saw/learned about. Hope it can be of use, even if some of you choose to improve upon it, please post. I am always eager to expand my own knowledge, and of course always happy to share that which i have.

Cheers

Great DIY project. Thanks for sharing..

Always something to do when it comes to fishing..
Even on rainy days.

Great idea. Home depot, here I come!

These were being made and used on long range tuna trips for at least 20 years. They served a great purpose.

excellent project you could also use the white pvc its a bit lighter not sure of cost and it can be bent with a torch just type in PVC PROJECTS in google search or on Pinterest endless projects hope this helps out

Great ideas helps out many fishermen low cost in building thanks for sharing

Could definately do it with PVC, I just used the ABS because I had it lying in the garage, and beside, I thought the black on black looked pretty cool, even had the black zip ties to keep it all monochromatic.

yep, for sure a very cool build!!
