that's awesome!

Thanks. It was really simple. I had a 2x6x8 lying around so I just propped it up on the baseboard in the garage and used a 1.5 inch paddle bit and went straight down on the angled board to hold the rod butt in place. The top is a 1x4x8 painted black that I put screwed into the studs and then got a fun noodle at Dollar Tree for $1. I cut the noodle in half and used some quick dry glue that the wife had for crafts. The holes in the base are 4" from center to center and the slits I cut in the noodle are every 4 inches. I stole the angled base design from the one Goose made. I had all these materials lying around and the noodle was the only thing I had to buy. You could honestly get by with mounting the noodle directly to the wall and just putting the rod butts on a 2x4 that is on the floor, but I liked the spacer between the noodle so the rods were perfectly parallel to the wall.

 

 

 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.

 

I want to do something like this so bad. But my basement ceiling is right around 7 ft so 80% of my rods cant be vertical.

I have one of the cheapo okuma rod racks.

I have it split into two and mounted to the wall in my shed.  Not the nicest thing out there but it was cheap and it gets the job done.
