Boats without rodlockers..How do you carry them? pics please!

[ScottND]

Can you show us some creative ways of carrying rods when your boat doesn't have an enclosed locker?

I've got a 1990 17' single console Yarcraft and I'm looking for a solution to rods laying all over.

i use a cabelas rod rack holds eight rods very nicely

Second on the rod rack. Dont have any pics, but go to their (Cabelas) HSOforum. With that, I dont even use my rod locker with the exception of transport down the road. In that case, the rod saver straps should work out if you have the flat floor space available for your long rods. (I got to figure out how people insert pics into their posts, I am still a little computer illiterate).

Is this the one you are talking about?

Rod storage on the cheap! (For storage only.. not for having line in the water)

I don't have a pic.. but I bought a couple 3 rod holders from Fleet Farm the other year.. and they are basically sets of PVC tubes that just screw on to where ever you want them.. stores the rods vertically. I put them in my one area where I never fish.. (to my back and right) yet they are in reach at all times.

Must have cost $30.00 tops for 6 rods.

No matter how you fish.. out of the 360 degrees of possible casting area.. there's a 30 or 40 degree range where you just never fish.

Hmmmm...you're making me think on that idea.

This winter before I headed off one morning I took some 2 1/2" PVC, cut 6 pieces 12" long, then cut 1/2" wide groves, 5" long in them and duck taped them to the racks on my 4 wheeler for ice rods. Took about 20 minutes and works great! Maybe I'll have to cut the tape and make it so I can move them back and forth between the boat and 4 wheeler.

Thanks...back to the drawing board.

Exactly. I have the standard and in the roughest water, I have never had it come out of the pedestal base. Plus you can move to the next available base as needed. I never saw the point of the holder with the rod holder. Just more money.
