So with the rain in full force I find myself with time and PVC. So time to build a much needed rod holder for my Maxxon XPW 240. This is just the frame still have to add the rod holders. When I am done I will be able to hold 4 rods behind my set.

It looks like that locks down pretty tight. I can't wait to see the final product.

Are you going to install some kind of tubes for holding your rods in the PVC frame?

Ya I have 1 1/2" ABS to cut and add. This will give me 4 slots for rods.

SWEET! Thumbs Up ABS will definitely lighten it a bit by not going all PVC.

I look forward to your trial run and your follow up report on the new rod holder.
I know that I built three (in the same design) before I finally got it right.
I hope that you get yours right on the first try Sir! Thumbs Up

OK so I am done for now it is simple but should work great.  I can now take up to 4 rods with me and the will no longer be lying beside me on the deck.  I will give a better explanation in a little while.
