How do you all store your rods at home?  I was considering making a rod holder from PVC Piping, but have not come up with a design I am comfotable with.  Anyone have a homemade rod holder?

I just bought a rod rack from gander mtn. like the ones they use (round).  I think I paid $40 for it and I'm very happy with it.  It holds like 20 rods w/ reels which works for now.

I have most types of racks in service:

 

Round rack and two Berkley 5-rod plastic racks:

 

 

Home-made rack - holds 9 combos:

 

 

The "Princess" rack inside the house... :

 

 

The "rod box" for car transport and also at-home storage:

 

 

2x4 with hooks, hang them vertical. 

I just chuck my rods in an old trash can......

 

.....and my reels in a cooler.

Rod racks with all reels removed from the rods stored inside my house in my man cave.

 

No rods and reels stored in the car due to the extreme weather conditions.

Ataris41, all rods are stored standing straight up and not bending or touching the wall.

 

That is a major goal to have when designing and building your own rod rack.

 

Posts pics of what you come up with.

I use coated bicycle hooks hanging from the ceiling into the garage, screwed into the studs in the attic. Each hook will hold about 4 rod and reel combos.

I'm pretty sure this is not the advice he was looking for.

No offense..ha,

 

But these pictures make me wince.     Are those Stradics in that cooler? 

Mine are in my furnace/basement hanging on the wall horizontally held by metal hooks.  Hooks are wrapped with felt material to protect from abrasion, plus the rods are in rod gloves.  Each set can hold 4-5 rods.  My reels are in a cabinet/cubby sitting on top of a towel that is placed on my custom tackle storage system. 

My stuff stays in my room. My reels are in a dresser draw.

I believe my wife would like to see me put my rod and reals in a trash can! Never going to happen though!

It's a mix in there.  Couple Sustains, couple Saharas, a few Stradics, a few Chronarch SF's a CI4 and an old green Curado.

 

The rod pic was just a joke.  That's my bone pile for repairs.

 

Here's one of the 5 various racks in the basement (this one is actually my Wife's).

Gotta get me one of those.  Awesome that your wife has that many rods too!

The rods aren't hers...just the rack.  She won it last month at the ICRBE.  Her rods are on one of the other racks in the background.  I'm using it as a build/repair staging area for ones that I'm working on.  There are some pretty good sticks on it tho.  5 SCV's, 2 SCIII's, a SCIV, CTS, Sage One, RX8, couple RX7's, a Seeker and a Hi-Mod MHX.....and a few repairs in the back row.

I have several different racks that I use.  This is the one I like the best.  I use it in the store and at home.

Where can i buy this?

Yeah, that rod rack tackle storage shelving unit is tight

I'm in same boat. My basement ceiling is just under 7 so I can't do anything I like to stand em up.

Where can i buy this?

BPS carries them or one very similar.

I got this one last year on sale and used about $15 worth of points to get it for $40. I like it.

 If that doesnt show the photo then I dont know WTH I am doing. and I will just leave it at that.

 

Edit: sweet it worked.

The left side is where I got the idea. Right side is mine. Since I want to use what I had around the house. I used my prescription bottles and zip ties.

What a cheapskate way of doing this...I LOVE IT! Seriously your awesome for using things from around the house and saving th from the landfill etc. I love projects like these when you can make something useful with life's scraps.
