Looking for ideas for DIY rod locker storage organizer. I can fit 8+ rods and about 6.5 feet long. Has anyone built an organizer? Any tips pics etc would be greatly appreciated. I’m getting really tired of the socks and the tangles! Lol Thanks!

I am going to follow along out of interest.
Are you wanting something portable or wall/ceiling mounted etc.... ? There's lots of options depending on your specific needs.
Not DIY, but it'll hold your 8 rods without tangles....

This is what I use for my longlining rods. When I'm using another technique, they stay in the bag. When I get home I put them standing up in the corner of the storage building. Works well for me and has lasted for years now....
Access Denied
If you're like me, you've got more rods than most ladies have shoes....
I have 2 of these and they're both full:

More so organizer for inside the rod locker.Quote:

My Epic has a factory rod tube set up similar to this. It works well and I often have multiple rods in one tube. You should be able to do similar to yours?

I can fit 6 spinning rod and reels. Don't know if I am finished with the front but so far I like it!
Any suggestions?
Looks great! Nice and clean. Pretty much what I have factory installed in my Lund. I often put two rods in the same tube in the bottom tubes. It's going to make your fishing much more enjoyable... Happy New fishing Year.

Thank you! When you have time and if you wouldn't mind, I'd love to see how yours is setup and how you put two rods in the tubes without tangles! Happy New Fishing Year!Quote:

Rod Sox really help if you’re putting more than one rod in a tube.
Here is how mine came from the factory.

The only difference I see from yours is they offset the stacked holders so the reel will sit down between bottom rods.
Here is a shot of rods together in a bottom tube. (staged it for you as the boat is put up for the winter and my batteries go under my rod locker)

I basically put the reel upright so the two rods are backbone to backbone with the reel resting between the two top rods. I will leave rods put together with terminal tackle like jigs and hooks but wont double with plugs or cranks.
Oh sweet thank you! Yeah I should have done an offset but the gap in the top is for the cup holder, not shown. This also makes me want an upgrade but there’s nothing wrong with mine ha!Quote:
