New Take on Old Rod Rack Design

The 1st rack I built was "inspired" by Lollys AK design. Served its purpose but there were 2 things I did wrong in the build.  I put a pic of the old one at the bottom.

1.  The trolling holder never swiveled or sat correctly, no matter how much sanding I did to the connecting ends.

2.  It always felt too heavy!

Had a few minutes to get back to the workshop and here is what I came up with.  The trollers now swivels easily 360 degrees!  I also got it down to 3.12 lbs by using class 200 pvc which is thinner than the schedule 40.

Pics don't show up for me. My first rod holder was all pvc. Pretty heavy. I replaced the tubes that hold the rods with abs. A lot lighter than pvc.

Looking good, excellent solution for an adjustable trolling holder.
Pics show up for me.

Nice job Patrick!   

Very nice. There's some modifications that I know I need to do to mine but I made a rookie mistake and glued everything in place before taking it out for a test run. I'll wait till i'm tired of it then i'll make the change and will copy what you did with the "swivel"
Oh, much props on the Camo scheme.

Nice work Patrick!

Pics work tonight. Great job. Love the paint job.

Nice paint job!
