DIY Fishing Rod holder

Has anyone built their own rod holder for their truck? I want to build on but want some ideas. Maybe something that uses the rails already installed so this way I can sit in the back of the truck. Any info would be great. Thanks everyone

You'll find some others in the Boating and Fishing forum as well

Depends on what fishing you do. If you want to surf cast, you could just drive to the ocean stand in the back of your rig and go for it. If your a fly fisherman likewise just drive into the river or stream or plan to fish.

 

I found one on here but its more for the back rail and I have a toolbox so it wouldn't work.
I would like something that goes from he left to right by the tailgate. I have found some online but not for the rail system. I figure since I have it I will get the most use of it.

 

I like these but I prefer to build my own. Also I do not wanna wait for them to get here in the mail. I have adhd and when I want something I want it now lol.

 

This is going to be for my catfish rods. I bass fish during the day and as night falls I start catfishing.

So you need a sedentary rod holder. Correct

 

yes.

 

Just found this one and I think it may be the winning choice. but I am still exploring options.

Looks good man. I think I would have to have them a little different the rear one at a 90 degree angle and the other at the 45.

 

Sorry, that's not ADHD, that's instant gratification disorder. Most folks over their heads in debt suffer from that, and they are the leading carriers of buyers remorse.

A true ADHD victim would have a hard time remembering what it was they wanted, 'cause they'd already moved on to something else.

 

I am diagnosed with ADHD. it's just managed and I have times where I can forget things quickly as this is something I wanted to do in January before the weather got nice and I forget. Also suffer from a TBI so memory sometimes isn't the greatest.

I do want instant gratification but that's because I work hard for what I want and have worked hard to get where I am at.

 

Something like this? Just use longer aluminum and span from one knob to the other and mount whatever holder you want.

Yes actually this would be the best solution. Wonder if I can find these t slots locally
