Ton of rod rack ideas

Maybe you guys have seen this stuff already? I thought it was a pretty good collection of rod rack ideas.

Thanks for posting that I think I have seen it before but there are some good ideas there.

I kind of like this one maybe I will work on it this weekend.

This one caught my eye too. I also like the idea of a flat rack like Jeff's because of casting. I think I will build both and see which I like better. I did like this one though.

What about this idea?

That is very cool looking I have thought of putting a linning inside my rack just to hold extra things. Are you going to do that.

I want to make this one.I have thought of either rivets for the liner or snaps. Pobably snaps so I can have options like a live well? I have seen rod racks that utilize a foam grip to hold the poles but I like the pool noodle idea.

I like the multi-tasking aspect of the pool noodles. I have also considered spraying expansion foam into the pvc (or even lighter abs) pipe to aid in buoyancy. However, the pvc is more visible should the rack take off on its own. The joys of pvc (tinker toys) pipe and all the possibilities!

My previous post I am talking about the flat rack with the liner and using the noodles to hold rods as in the picture. After looking back at my post it didn't seem clear which system I was talking about.

You got my mind working I think it is time to update my rack or try something now. I am looking forward to your creating waxon post pictures when you are done thanks

Anyone made progress in the rod rack department? I have mine close to completion. Hey Floater you ever get on the one in picture? As soon as I get the liner configured I will post pix of my creation.

Ok so I found plans on making a carmera mount for your tube as well. I will try to get it posted later tomorrow.

That will be cool. My rack so far will take a small cut bait table from a different project so it has become a multi tasker. It already got me thinking of a camera mount for taping the "big one". When I get it all together you'll see what I mean. So ya, lets see those plans. Hey what about for a fish finder? BBQ and a porta potty?

man if i fall for this tube fishing there are lots of think i want to do.
make all kinda stuff lol

I wish I had the funds (and time) to build one but that's not in the cards for me right now

Well i know what you mean by not haveing the funds i guess i am lucky i got a garage full of stuff that i can use.
Me and waxon built a fishing cart from crap in my garage and it looks store bought i was joulous for a minute but then i made me one

Lots of great ideas here guys....I am just worried about losing a setup while fishing. I use to carry 3 or 4 rods out with me but after losing a $300 setup in the harbor I started fishing with only one rod. Maybe in the future I might give one of these designs a shot.

Have you considered using a tether of some kind?

working on a single pole hold for the wait part of bait and wait

hey a demo of the pole holder still working on it

Very interesting, looks like it could work.

It's pretty cool. I got to see it up close today.

I feel that last statement, I can get in hot water when I start to get ready for a fishing trip. Time management right, I mean she needs to understand how I have to manage my time for my trip

true on managing time
sometimes i try to get ready before i say anything so when i get the green light i go go go give no chances for her to ask for anything lol

That is ATfish's rig. Alot of thought went into that one. He even has a canopy that blocks the sun. He is from SD.

Maybe one day he'll chime in on this forum.
