Rod holders/storage in portable?

[mnhunter2]

Looking for some way to keep all my rods organized, easy to get at and out of the way when fishing in my otter. I thought I could make a holder with loops to hold the rods on the back of the house, any ideas?

As far as holders get the Otter rod holders. For rod storage I like the Stone Legacy Revolution bags for short travel or pulling out by hand. When going long hauls with a sled I like the OtterHard Rod Cases. Bulky but the best protection you can get for your rods.

I saw a great idea on one of the "mods" threads. These guys had a roll up rod holder that they could hang from the back of the rear support, just reach back and select your weapon.

I agree with the flexible rod holders by otter. They are nice and work great for deadsticking. As for rod organization, I built a mod for my otter and made a rod locker so I can fit 4 rods hanging up on the sides and then 1 or 2 sit in the bottom without tangling and I am always ready to fish. I built it all for very little cash and since I used cedar it is light.

I created a slick little rod holder for my otter. I always hated having stuff in bags and shuffling through all the gear while fishing. I always seem to be switching rods to see what is working and found an easy way to keep most of them accessible.

I used my back pole, (the one that has a tip that fits in the pre drilled hole in the sled) and went to my local ace hardware store and picked up a couple packages of those garage organizer clips (the ones that hold lightweight brooms and such) and positioned them along the pole in various spots. The ones I used were the "u" shaped clips that compress to hold the handle.

The cork handles of all my rods slip into them very easily and they are all hung horizontal against the back of my house. Out of the way, always warm and very accessible. I used a sheet metal screw to keep them attatched and when the pole is taken down all the clips are ready to go for the next time.

They have two different sizes of these style clips and I found that the small ones can be bent a little to accomodate handles that are a little thicker. The bigger ones don't grab the handles as well. Very cheap and very functional.
