Lightweight Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Just after a bit of advice on a reliable system to mount some rods onto my console, i have seen some bream boats setup with some basic rod holders that stand vertically. Anyone use this method or have any online stores i could have a look at? I am sick of storing $$$'s of rods and reels on the bloody floor of the boat..

Rick T Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 G'day LW I store mine vertically and think it is the best way to do so. I have seen a few rod tips done in rod racks and if they are not set out correctly they make a mess of tangles if u put multiple rigged rods in there. My set up is simple, just a few berkley vertical rod holders. sometimes I take up to 9 rods out + who ever is with me and this keeps all the rods in good order. up to 12 rods can be stored this way.

Lightweight Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 Hi Rick, PERFECT! Can i ask how much you payed for those? They look exactly like what i want to do. Thanks LW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick T Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 yeah they are about $20 each set. I don't think the locables are necessary, I have been around the heads at a rate of knots without rods falling out. Just purchase a pack of s/s self tappers as the screws provided rust.

mystic shad Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Permission to board Captain? As I play in a wee boat, space is paramount. I Shadapted the rod holders by screwing it to a piece of ply and rivetted alloy two guides onto the boat. It's a little rough but I find the system very handy. If I am going under low bridges or branches, I jsut slip the board and all rods out of the guides and lie her down. When I get home, I slip the whole rack out of the boat and hang it on the wall.
