This might be a strange request, but traveling with 6-8 long rods in the boat along with other rods (for casting and shooting) makes for a broken rod (or two) situation. Is there any solutions out there for a rack/storage system out there for keeping the long rods together AND out of the way? Friend of mine told me a guy he sometimes fishes with has a rack (of sorts) that is attached to gullwales and hangs outside the boat - but this may be a home fab rack.
Check out Driftmaster Tip Savers.. $40 and holds 8 rods outside the boat running 70 down the interstate no problem..
Thanks. This might be what I'm looking for.
These are Driftmasters. The height extension is something Paul made to clear the consoles.

Check out Monks crappie. He has some like that. I have a friend that says that he would have preferred the vertical kind instead of the horizontal. Might get some advice from those that have both kinds.
Believe Scott Echols and Hi Tec makes a rod keeper as well. You can PM Scot on the site his CDC name is callshy
Many thank guys (and gal). Cabela's website says they carry the Driftmaster brand - so I'll stop by the Huntsville store and see if they have one in stock.
Scott makes some good ones I can put 16 rods on mine .Quote:

I recommend you consider Scott Echols (callshy) @ Hi tec. Super individual that makes incredible products. I have numerous products from Scott...some are custom made for my war eagle.
Nice thing about Scott Echols and Hi Tec is that he lives in Eva and all those products are produced right here locally.
The Driftmaster rod tip savers work great.
SeaRay, tell me about the War Eagle trick.. I have a 648 War Eagle that I fish out of occasionally.
Do a search on here for "Duracraft and War Eagle boats searay" and my post should come. I have not figured out how to copy and paste a link using this Kindle or I would have provided the link. :donoQuote:

Thanks for the help guys....and gal.
Like the Bac-Rac if I still fished out of a bass boat I would have to have one. Tellicorick post pictures when you get you racks installed. I need to upgrade to a set of Scott's rod holders...just one of the upgrades I would like to do to my boat.
Alot more ball coaching than fishing but the fishing this past weekend was rehabilitating! I should be able to get this built tomorrow and we can meet up Thursday or Friday. I will be in touch.Quote:

Tellicorick have you got your rack yet? Installed? Pictures?
He is trying to pick it up today. This is what he ordered. He wants to custom fit to existing plates, hence no base plates for mounting.Quote:

They look good. I bet Tellicorick is anxious to pick them up and put them to use.
Picked them up this evening - met Scott in Eva and they are mighty good looking. I will get them mounted on Wednesday as I'm headed to Weiss tomorrow morning with my regular fishing bud. I'll post up some pics here after I get them mounted.Quote:

Hopefully, these pictures will show up. I'm not a photographer but the rod racks are very well made.
