Homemade Rod Racks
With the lake covered in ice I've had some time to get a few things done on the boat.... With rigging season approaching I wanted a way to keep my rods neat and untangled in the boat. I also wanted to be able to keep the rods on the racks and be able to lift the hole thing off the boat and hang from the ceiling in the garage above the boat when I was not rigging. I also wanted to be able to break down the hole set up and be able to throw it in storage of the boat if needed.So I built my own set rod racks that fit my boat and also my needs without breaking the bank.

How did you attach it to the boat? I see the base with the pin in it, but what does it look like with the rack off?
Looks like a neat idea.

A black pipe floor flange with a 6 inch threaded nipple hand tight. So I can pull the pin, lift off the holders and unscrew the nipple and all that's left on the boat is just the floor flange.

LOL I have two homemade rod holders on the back of my boat that use that flange. My holders are for when you fishing, not storing. I have an 18" pipe with angle iron welded at 90* across the top and a driftmaster holder on each side. I used the round plastic tightening knobs on the DM to replace the wing nut, (someone had posted that idea on here as well)
