Thread: Rod transport rack

I went with the Drfitmaster becuase it locked. I added a divider in the middle to support the long rods. You have move the end divider all the way to almost 4 inches from the tips to avoid them from whipping against each other in the wind.

with the offset holders could I set them up where the rods are off to the side of the boat as well so that while im in the boat they wont take up room?

That you Charlie?

Walmart sells a garage misc holder for $1.00 and I use 2 of them, one on each side. I don't like anything hanging off or near the boat edge. These hooks go on the inside of the boat and I made a bungee strap to hook over the top of them once I have everything I want pinned down. I saw the idea from ATM on this forum. It works great for the way I fish. There are so many times I have a limb or a snag come inside of the boat or hit the back end of the boat causing me to change direction. There are times I want to rest the back end of my boat on a snag to keep me placed perfectly for a few moments. There is no way I could do this with the rod racks I have seen. I wrap all my rods in a matter if seconds and strap them in. It's worked for me and was cheap, but if I planned to fish nothing but open water like most, I would go for a nice rack like EZ makes.
