    Looking for some good ways to transport longer fishing rods. What mods have y'all done as far as holders. Any suggestions would be great!

    define longer .

    Years ago I built a small set of brackets to hold PVC pipe I think it was 4" .

    With the reels removed it worked out quite well .

    Since seeing Jaws it is hard for me to get close to any water not coming through a pipe

    I Cary 10 ft crappie rods in the back of mine, just have to break them down because they are 2 price rods and lay them in the bed at an angle. Best way I’ve found

    I don't have a problem with my two piece rods. It's my one piece that are the issue

    The diameter of the pipe was 4"

    It went from the back corner of the bed to about even with the windshield 10' I can`t recall right now

    What about a fly rod holder? Like this one? That is expensive AF but im sure you could make something out of PVC similar to that.

    Purchased a 10Ft 6 in PVC from Lowes. Cut off 2ft and painted it black.

    Purchased this Conduit carrier from Amazon.

    Tip for anyone with nice reels. Make sure you use rod socks and reel covers. My Concept Z series reel got banged up on the way to VA for school. I can fit 5-6 rod with reel in here. For my spinning reels I just take off my handles so they can fit. I siliconed the caps so they are water resistant. Have around 100 bucks into this set up.

    Ya I’ve only owned smaller one pieces, never owned a long one. I have seen a lot of the PVC idea tho and I would probably go that route if mine didn’t break down

    I actually just made cheap rod holder last night. It slides in and out when I need it.

    Looked around alot. Found a few super nice and super $$$ holders that were metal that locked. Seems like all those companies were from the NE to lock up all their van staals for stripers. I went with the rhino rack ski holders and they work great! There are multiple sizes/ lengths, so pick the one that works best for you.
