rod holders

[Guest]

I have a guide 2man shack and was hoping someone had a good way of storing about six or seven rods without the standard through them in a bucket and let the get tangled and broken tips.

no idea if this will work it just poped in my head when i read your post. maybe you can take rod holders (like the kind for your boat with the velcro holding straps and mount them to the sides of your sled (be sure on the inside of the sled) ha ha ha
if your try it let me know if it worked. otherwise theres that bag everyones talkin bout

I would seriously look at the Croxton Pond Ice Fishing Bag. I currently have a Ready Rig and can only SQUEEZE 3 rods/reels in it. A buddy of mine may buy that from me and I will then buy a Croxton Pond. Otherwise get some PVC pipe for each rod and mount in it your sled.

BTW... Welcome to the forum.

I have the croxton bag available from this site, but i also bought some pipe insulation,its the stuff you use to wrap water pipes to keep them from condinsating. found at most hardware stores, it's foam and is slit down the side, just cut it to the lenth of your poles and slip the poles inside. work's great, keeps the line's untangle and your jig's are easily removed from the foam when they get hooked. It comes in different diamiter's I got the 3/4" works for me.

"Livebait" for the money the Croxton Pond tote systems are the best bet yet that I have found.

I have one that has been in hard use for 3 years and is as good as new. A very functional and handy system that I would highly recommend to anyone.

They can also serve as a pack rod system for summer use, very handy for light canoe trips.

I bought "the bag" this fall and I cannot how handy it is. All together, I have SEVEN rods and reels in the main compartment. My longest rod is 30". I went to Walmart and bought the tubes to seperate clubs in a golf bag (69 cents). these work well to protect the rods and keep them from tangling. In the side compartments, I have extra line, three tackle boxes and 2 polar tip-ups.

The bags are A-1.

The best method of storing rods is to build a rod box! Mine is 16" x 30" and 4" thick.
This allows you to have it like a suitcase and to have the inside lined with foam. I kepp 3 rods a gaff a tackle tray box and a small radio for entertainment. My rods are never broke even when thrown into the bottom of my otter or when getting into a bombadier on Lake of the Woods. I grab my rod box and vex and get in and go! Oh I also built rod holders out of alum strapping and a short piece of pipe that fold and go into my rod box also!!
