Just made a rod rack for the bed

I've got a short bed, so my 6' and 6'6" rods don't fit in the bed without laying them diagonally. That takes up a lot of room, and my dog steps on them when she's back there.

I just fabbed up a rod rack that holds three rods of any length without using any bed space. I used a 1x8 and pvc, and affixed it to the bed rail. Let me know what you guys think!










Also used some hooks to hold a 5" rod that I always keep in the back (just in a case)

 

Looks like you go fresh water fishing

 

Nice. I was looking to fab up something similar back in April. May "borrow" your idea.

 

craft a pivot so the rods can rotate and swing out and you could troll the stream while driving, maybe with some big ass trebles

 

awesome..I need to make this.

 

very nice,what kind of fishing do you do?

 

nice, I would like to do something like that with mine

 

Bingo..not too much ocean in northeast texas.....

Thanks, I fish mainly bass, crappie, and if nothing else is biting, catfish and bluegill. Got a 17 mile long man made lake near my house.

That would be awesome....

 

Pretty cool!

 

awesome man!

Glad to see other tacos fishing!

 

nice work...might have to "borrow" your idea...

 

That's a good idea. I was looking for someting like that for my truck. I found a rod holder made by Portarod, its a great product and its worked amazing for me so far. You should check it out. Portarod.com

 

thats pretty cool dude, nice job!

 

$160

I used to have a setup somewhat like that. I made it out of a rod rack from Gander Mountain and a 1x8. But in the end it took up too much bed space. You can see it in this shot:

 

That's cool, to bad my rods are 12'- 13' I would be hanging up on all kind of stuff.

 

You lucky ocean people.

 

Nice! I will be doing more fishing this year and going to rig my X like this!

 

That is a sweet set up man ! Great idea. Now just make a mini cooler to put your bait or beers in! Or a manmade screwed on tackle box!

hey kpt, what size nuts/bolts/washers did you use to hold that board on the rails?
