Hey guys! I just wanted to give you an update about my rod quiver. Minus the straps or pontoons to make it float, it is pretty much done and I really like how it has turned out.

I will be able to carry three rigs which if I put it on my back would allow my hands to carry other things.

Here is the bottom end. The white things are 1 ¼ pvc pipe end caps. They are cushioned with pipe insulation foam.

Here is the top end with the slots completely carved out after two holes for each slot were made with a forstner bit.

Here is the quiver holding the rods.

From the other side.

A closer look at the slots. They are lined with red felt to help protect the rod from getting scratched. In addition, the rods are secured by industrial strength Velcro, whatever that means! The Velcro holds the rods surprisingly well.

Anyway, just thought I'd give you an update. If and when I build a pontoon for it that is functional, I will post it. Oh yeah. The purpose of the quiver is the keep the rods with me while I am fishing/wading so that I don't have to leave it on the shore where it can get stolen at a moment's notice. The thought of leaving my cruado D/crucial combo on the shore while I'm dropshotting when it can get stolen is a terrible one!

If the rods are on my back or floating close to me, any no good thief would have to come through me to steal my rods. Thanks!

nice design, I just started using the one from cabelas

I like it, but I like the velcro design better.

great job,

eric

that is cool. i started making my own quiver too, but havent found something to fit the idea of how to clip my poles to some pipe.

Cool idea!

Is that the blue bike you ride to the lake?  LOL  ;D
