Thread: New Rod Holder

C-Clamp and wing nuts. Looks like another trip to Shop-o-rama.

I think them, they look really good the way you have it.

OMG...!! Shop O Rama is my favorite store in the whole wide world.....!!!!

could try a couple of the small bungee cords or some velcro straps some use to keep electrical cords rolled up all nice and neat. would be easy to mount and cheap. Consider a U bolt/muffler clamp with wing nugs instead of the normal nuts.

I dont think you should do this unless you put some foam on the sharp edges of the cross bar, one bump on the rod and next fish it will break!!

You're right Rowdy. I thought about that. I was thinking about trying to angle them back just enough where they couldn't hit the edge of the cross bar. Foam pipe insulation might work too.

I see what you're say'n but I need & want to mount them centered in the post. Something like in the picture. I would also like to be able to remove them quickly & easily. Might even want to be able to slide them up & down on the post.

Wiskers. They make a pvc fitting that is called a "slip t" fitting. If you got the right size it would slide right over your rod holder post and then you would have to plumb it into your rod holder. To slide it up and down you would probably have to pin it in that post? Just a thought. I might have one of those fittings in my "man cave". I will see if I can find it and send some pics.
