Looking for one. What do yall recommend? Saw Wayne Inman had one that could possibly be used as a rocket launcher holder, he still making these?
Looking to hold probably 10 rods, 8 may work. Just trying to get some ideas.
Also, Has anyone seen or used the Cumberland FF 16" mount with cupholders and tray?
i bought one from ezpoleholder:biggrin
I have the ff mount w/ cup holder work great along with Cumberland transport rack.
Here is mine from EZ on a War Eagle 754Attachment 211345Attachment 211347
Check out E-Z Poleholders new stuff....click here http://www.crappie.com/crappie/-memb...ransport-rack/
any of yall ever used the driftmaster tip savers? Im thinking about going that route in the next couple of weeks...im in a small 16 foot jon boat
I use them and they have served me well. I like having my rods inside the boat while in transport on and off the water.
I copied a set like these, used some lighter metal.

I have the Driftmasters on my Duracraft stick steer. I like them because I can swap them out with rod holders for fishing in just a minute. I obught the offset ones so they did not stick out over the side of the boat. Depends on how you want to set them up.

I've got a 2016 WE Predator 861 (as if my handle didn't give it away). Would like to put it on console side if possible. I like EZ's and may go with that. But Wayne Inman has a YouTube clip of a transport rack that can be turned up on one end and tightened down to a base plate and it would act as a rocket launcher type rod holder while switching spots....because of course you've already caught all the slabs in your first spot! :biggrin
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?Quote:

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.
anyway you could show a picture? or tell us more about what you bought? I dont understand what it is you bought at walmartQuote:

Sorry forgot the pic
I see most of you guys store the rods on your boat when not fishing. Any other suggestions to store them at home in the garage? I thought of making some makeshift hangers for the different length rods, but not sure if that will work or give me a large catfish crankbait tangle.
two pieces of pvc pipe with a rope through it and hang from ceiling works good can be any width you want......hang about 10 or 12 inches below ceiling...or rafters whatever and rods stored out of the way
This is how I did mine. Works slick as can be. I dipped the j-bolts in insulating rubber like you put on pliers to insulate them, but that may be overkill. I thought it might cushion the rods because they rotate in the holders as the garage door opens and closes.

That's a neat idea right there!!!!! My shop door is 24'. It'll hold long rods easy. A few felt pads should keep the bottom reel from banging the door.Quote:

This one was custom built to hold 10. We now have an 8 pole and a 12 pole set.
I have the Driftmasters tips saver 8 pole on my stringer 195, works for me. Would like to have a 12 pole holder would be a little better.
I like the uprite ones better myself but someone needs to design one where the rods on all on the boat side of the main support so you dont have to reach to the lake side to get them off.
I may have misunderstood your comment, but the Driftmaster Tipsavers that are offset offer that feature. I wanted mine all inside the boat because some of the areas I fish are flooded timber and will grab anything hanging outside the boat if you are not real careful.
Driftmaster all the way.....custom for 10 with lockable top. Excellent work Mine are all inside the boat
Anyone have holders that would hold 16 rods. I would like to keep them all on one side instead of putting 8 on each side. Trying to come up with something in my head to build but kind of drawing a blank for 16 rods without it being a huge contraption.

Get one from E-Z. Just got mine. 16' rods. Works great!
Thanks for the pictures but I was talking about 16 rods total. I know that's a little more than normal but would still like to get them all on one rack if possible. Thanks again
I e got a Cumberland crappie 16 rod hold I was going to use, but needed it more outside my boat to help with room. So I tried to move the brackets out more. It worked, but think that the weight of the rods will make it a little too unstable. If you can weld aluminum or figure some kind of brace for it, I'll sell it t ya.
I may be able to find someone around here to weld a brace so it'll hold better. I'll shoot you some pics by pm so you'll know what I'm talking about. It'll be Monday cuz I'm chasing them all weekend
Just bought mine from EZpoleholder and they are awesome. Very satisfied
Those look great
Check out Cumberland rod racks. Best I've ever seen!!!! Hands down! Excellent quality and service.
