Those irritating rod holders

Featured Replies

Maybe some of you know what I'm talking about. You know, those circular rod holders that hold maybe 15 fishing rods but are hard to get to when you need to get a rod in the back. The ones I have do not turn. So if you want to get a fishing rod in the back you have to pull the whole unit out, reach in the back, grab the rod and then put the  rod unit back again. Of course that process knocks everything out of sync. Is there a better option out there: maybe one that has a swivel at the bottom that you can turn? I'm game to buy one if anyone can recommend it!

Holds 24 and has a Lazy Susan in the base so it turns.

Many thx! Do you find that it comfortably holds 24 rods with reels or do you have to really use some imagination to fit them in?

No idea - vertical racks sit the rods up too high for my use. I have short ceilings in my house (8' upstairs, 6'9" in the basement) so I can't use a vertical rack. I have a horizontal rack I built on one wall in the 'fishing room' in the basement.

 

I just did a Google search and found this...

I appreciate your help. I have kind of the same issue! If  my longer rods sit too high they're going to hit the ceiling. So in solving one problem I create another! ?

Thankfully my cottage bedroom has 2 easy accesses corners. And dinning room has 1 corner. All no direct sunlight on them.  8' ceilings.

Yeah, that gets annoying. It's actually pretty easy to turn most into spinning ones.
