Rod storage in garage
I have my regular rods in racks on the side wall of my garage but my long crappie poles I've been standing in the corner. I worried about one of then falling over and me running over it so I came up with a cheap and dirty way to store them safely. I bought U-bolts sized to the handles and J-hooks for the shaft support and mounted them on the garage door. I dipped the J-hooks in plastic dip like you use to insulate plier or tool handles to protect from rubbing as the door goes up and down. the tips kind of waved around a bit when the door was going up and down so I put some smaller stick on hooks near the end to stabilize them.

I'd take the tension off the line on those rods, if there's any chance those rods will get "hot" from being on that garage door. Those bent rod tips might "set" that way, if they get hot. Might degrade the line faster, too (from the heat) ... so check your lines now & then, unless you're already changing line several times a year.
