Lunker777 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 Hey all.... Im trying to talk my boss into selling me one of the old work trucks.... Im pondering ideas for ways to store the rods in the bed of the truck... Just wondering how you guys tackle 7' one peice rods in your car or vehicle ? Thanks
Greencoachdog Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 I use one of these: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/template...rset=ISO-8859-1 ... and it either goes in the bed of the truck or the boat!
BillM Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 I usually put the one piece rods down the center console through to the rear seats (extended cab GMC) Or besides the door...
Canuck2fan Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 I know a guy who had a pickup with one of those hard tonneau covers and he built a simple wood rack then had it covered in leatherette that attached to bottom of the locking tonneau cover so he could store the rods there. The best part was they were up off the floor and protected from getting stepped on or having something roll over them. The only thing was you had to feed the rods into it upside down because of the eyes. When you turned the rods around the spacing of the other bars on the rack used the eyes and the weight of the reel to hold them. It was a pain the first couple times I used it but it worked very well once you got the motion of putting the rods in and turning them.
smally21 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 take a look at the rodzuka. or make one with 4" pipe. that cabelas anglers rack looks great!
Fish4Eyes Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 On my trips up north, I remove all my reels off and put them into a bag, and then zip tie all the rods together
ctdd2006 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 .....regarding the cabelas locker, where it says "free mounting...." does that mean something like that could be mounted in your boat? I'm thinking in front of console...????
GBW Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 in my wife's grand caravan, I use the roof vents (the ones that open and close for the hot or cold air to the mid and rear of the van) as my support. run a bungie cord from side to side, insert rods from back to front and then use another bungie to keep them all to one side. that is only for my 1 piece rods. the rest go in the rod locker (soft case).
