You can easily find remaining PVC pipes in your storage to start this less costly project. Based on how much you have fishing rods, you will prepare the corresponding number of pipes.

Cut the pipes into the necessary length (here, you will cut 5 feet of 1.5-inch pipe into 8 pieces, 7.5 inches each). Next, screw them into a supporting piece of wood.

Not only is this holder handy for a small storage area, but it is also so inexpensive that you will not feel anything if you happen to lose it.

A fishing rod holder alone is not enough for all your storage needs? Well, to combat this issue, we would like to introduce this 2-in-1 DIY fishing rod holder.

The first thing you see is the usual holding system, which can fit 9 rods at once. But that’s not all, as there is also a multi-shelf cabinet.

To begin with, perform some dado cuts on the 2 12×36″ panels so that the storage boxes can fit snugly and firmly, and you can easily slide them.

Utilizing these plastic boxes is way more economical and time-saving, as wood shelves call for more wood and screwing jobs.

Then, drill some holes on the top panel to store the rods. And you’re almost there.

Fishing gives you a sense of relaxation and achievement as well, so prepare yourself on this rack to display your pride.

You can coat this rack with the stain matched with your interiors and spice it up with 2 big fish on top – your victories. Place it in your living room to add a personal touch and show off your interest.

If you store big offshore conventional reels, which need huge space between each hole, you will do 8-inch gaps. Smaller spinning reels, however, only require 4-inch gaps.

A fishing rod rack’s support can make or break its storing capacity. And this rod rack gives you just that – some incredibly efficient support pieces.

To reduce the chance of the rack toppling, you put in the shelf supports for the bottom part. Aside from improving the structure’s integrity, it also gives extra weight for a firmer and more solid stand.

The whole shelf only requires two 1x6s ( 22 -½” long) and one piece of 3/4″ plywood sheet. It means that you can put it in the corner of any room because it does not take up much space.

This guide is the first one on this list to consider hanging the rods on the wall. The idea behind it is actually quite simple, as you only need 2 straight wooden boards and some screws.

Drill round notches into both boards but cut some extra slots into one. With these cuts, you can have an easier time sliding the rods into the holder.

Finally, you just need to screw both boards either onto a wall or into a frame, depending on your need. If you have many fishing rods, you can choose longer boards and drill more holes.

As its name suggests, this project focuses on being as basic as possible with a detailed plan. You can use this rod holder for outdoor as well.

The list of the material consists of only 2 wooden planks. You will need basic tools as drill, rafter square, tape measure, and handsaw or a jigsaw . All of these are things most woodworkers have.

You start by cutting all the boards to exactly 34-1/2″ long. Draw marks onto the 1×6 piece, drill holes according to those marks, and cut 45-degree slots. Put the cross bracers together to finish the whole thing.

The most impressive thing about this fishing rod storage rack plan is, of course, the side shelf and the trout carving.

The side shelves are obviously inspired by the classical gun rack design with all the curves. You can achieve the same curves for the side shelves either by drawing with a jigsaw.

As for the trout, you just need to trace the design with carbon paper. Then you carve according to the traces using a Dremel tool.

For this project, it’s very simple to make. You don’t need anything skills, with less than $10 you can build this. It will not get much of your space to hold fishing rods.

The instructions are also among the easiest to follow. After all, the whole thing consists of only 3 parts: cutting the pipes into 3, putting the end caps on, and hooking them onto the wall.

People traveling around must have faced the issue of not being able to carry all their trusty fishing rods with them before.

This issue will never bother you if you follow this guide, as the finished product is a fishing rod rack attached to your car’s ceiling.

However, due to your car’s space limitations, it’s basically impossible to cut out holes from wooden planks to store the rods.

Instead, you will be getting rod clips, which cost about 7 bucks for a pack of 20. This will be your only spending for this project.

The advantage of this project is the fact that once you have cut all the pieces, you can quickly disassemble and assemble them.

As such, you can easily carry all the pieces with you and put them together at the fishing site. You can hold to 14 fishing rods.

To make this detachable rack, prepare four pieces of 1-1/2 -inch 90° elbow, 15 Ts, four pieces of 5-foot straight pipe, and glue. Then, it’s time for the assembling game.

At first glance, you will think that this rod rack is flimsy. That is far from the truth, as it is arguably the most stable, capable of storing even the longest of the rod.

The secret to this stability lies in the way you cut the holes of the support racks. Instead of cutting them right down the middle, you will leave one part wider. This wider part will be at the bottom when you put the whole thing together.

Doing this ensures that the rods do not have any room to wiggle, improving stability to a whole new level.

Fishing rod holders have always been strictly on-land due to various limitations. With this project, having a rod holder placed on the side of your boat is no longer a dream.

It is the heat seal that works the magic in this project. After you have cut out the flaps of the raft, heat seal the tubes into the inside flaps.

To make sure that there is no escaping air, patch the inside with double-sided TPU fabric.

Ensure that this patch will not fold or wrinkle to fill up to its maximum capability. Once the heat seal is completed, the rod holder will stick rigorously.

This fishing rod rack, while having scrap wood as the main material, is all about being sturdy and dependable.

To achieve this kind of sturdiness, you need to start correctly with the measurements. From the base floor to the top wall gap, you need to be aware of the distance between each wall stud.

As this is a vertical rack, there is a high chance that the rod will wobble out of the slots. To limit this risk, put thumbtacks on the top rack and run a rubber band across it.

The rod stand holder is made out of PVC and is very modular so you can adjust it to fit your needs. This makes it perfect to take on your trips to the lake.

You can easily add or remove sections to make it just the right size. You don’t need any adhesive, just press fit the pieces together. This stand has room for four frames and four rod holders.

If you have a different number of frames, you can adjust accordingly. This is a great way to keep your fishing gear organized and in one place.

Plus, the added bonus is that you can mount these rod holders almost anywhere. So if you are using a wagon as a fishing cart, you can easily attach these rod holders to the sides. This makes it very versatile and convenient.

There is no denying the fact that this fishing rod rack is the best at accenting professionalism.

Despite having a commonly seen procedure, it has a much more stable and sleek appearance. The difference comes from all the small details.

Rather than fitting and locking the rack’s sides right away, this plan requires you to first drill some pocket holes into both ends. This step results in the sides fitting perfectly with no gap left.

After finishing, you should apply paint or stain it to increase looks for your fishing rod rack. It also protects components from decomposing.

This fishing rod storage holder makes from square aluminum and PVC. It is very light and easy to make.

The holder can hold up to 10 fishing rods. It is 18 inches wide, 15 inches tall, and 13 inches deep. The holder is easily assembled by drilling the cross beams and PVC, then bolting them together.

Most rod racks are not capable of storing anything other than fishing rods. That is not the case with this project, as it allows you to customize shelves according to your needs.

After you have cut out rod slots on the sideboards, you will notice that there is some unused space. All you need to do is fit in some boards, and you will get a lot of extra storage capacity.

This project does not make a full rod rack but a single rod holder, which is perfect for casual fishermen.

Due to the locking mechanism on the back of the holder, you can easily attach it to your kayak’s crate.

The whole rack also does not take any time to finish, as you simply drill some holes, sand them over, and put the screws in. All in all, even the newest DIY-ers can complete the project in less than 20 minutes.

It’s rare to see truly portable fishing rod racks. That is exactly what this fishing rod rack brings you, though, with its base of wheels.

Of course, you cannot just slap on some wheels and call it a day, as fishing rods are all delicate. Even a little wobbling while moving can result in significant damage.

To make sure that no rod will slide off, there will be no rod slot. Instead of cutting the slots, you will leave the holes as is and put the rods in through them.

Not all of us are fans of the drilled holes most DIY rod racks possess. If you are in the same boat, you will love this fishing rod stand. After all, it makes use of the popular horizontal rod rack slots . You can buy them from stores online like Amazon or Walmart.

With these slots, you no longer need to drill anything; just focus build a basic frame and solid. Then, slap the slots onto this frame, and they will fix the rods in place.

People with less time and energy can finish the whole thing in one single afternoon.

You may think this rod rack calls for the glue to join the components, but you won’t have to spend a penny on this stuff.

All the parts dry-fit together tightly. This ensures reasonable structural integrity for the whole rack.

Moreover, no glue means that you get the capability just to take the whole thing apart easily. Thus, you may add in more storage whenever you get a new rod. This kind of customizability is only seen in Lego structures.

A huge fear that all fishermen have is their rods slipping out while they are boating. This plan will give you peace of mind, as it offers you a holder tightly attached to your boat.

All you have to do is insert the ore lock on your boat and the bolt on the pipe cap. You can even tighten it by hand or a wrench, but the nut remained sturdy with a long bolt of 2.5 inches.

While the boat rocks back and forth, the holder must be able to stick to the boat as well as the rod. Our recommendation is to add construction adhesive under all the bolts you use.

Your fishing rod collection will only grow bigger the more you fish, so you need a storage method that can grow alongside it.

In this aspect, this rod holder rack design is unarguably the best, as it can theoretically grow infinitely with enough T pieces.

You must remember, though, that some fishing rods tend to have huge butts. As such, only ½ inch PVC pipes with thin walls can serve as the rod rest.

Cut some pipes into equal sections of 3 1/2 inch length. Put them in conjunction with the T pieces to build 1 rack section. The number of T pieces is the same as the number of rods you want to keep on each section.

You won’t get a portable yet flimsy fishing rod rack out of this project, but a bulky, reliable, yet still stylish one.

The reason for this bulkiness is due to this project being the only one on this list to make use of 1×8 boards for the bottom support.

This rack is especially strong, as it has the structural integrity of 1x8s. The 2 bottom braces on the side of the bottom parts improve the whole structure’s reliability even more.

Instead of the usual pine wood, this plan makes use of poplar wood, which is the reason for its stylish appearance.

The horizontal holder rack is perfect for keeping your rods out of the way. It can store up to six rods, and the angle of the holder can adjust to fit your needs.

The wall hanger is also adjustable, so you can make sure your rods are securely fastened.

Moreover, you should sand the wood beforehand will make sure there are no splinters when you put the holder up and down.

Lots of fishing rod racks unintentionally scratch the rods due to not having the correct alignment. This project can solve that issue with its design.

The biggest requirement of this fishing rod holder project is that the holes in the top and bottom racks must align perfectly. By doing so, the chances of the rods getting scratches are limited to effectively zero.

You must make sure to line the 2 wooden planks up together perfectly, clamp them, then cut them at once.

Remember to cut the pipes slightly longer than the height of rack. Doing so prevents the straight butt rods from rubbing with the timber.

This is a cheap and easy way to store your fishing rods, using PVC pipe. It can easily customize to fit your needs.

To get started, you’ll need to cut 10 4-inch pieces and 6 8-inch pieces of PVC pipe. Next, connect the 4-inch pieces with tee pieces to create two sides of a rectangle base.

Finally, connect the 8-inch pieces with T pieces to create the holders for the fishing rods.

The rod stand is designed to store a lot of hold fishing rods and hold them very securely.

To build this fishing rod stand, the author first marked out the drill points and cut out the circles using a hole saw. He then used a rip saw to cut out the slots for the rods.

The author prepare the bracing blocks and attached them to the stand. Next , he then added two stabilising legs, then bracing blocks to the top section. The stand was finished with a hand sander.

This stand has slots that allow you to easily slide the rods in and out, and the braces that keep the stand from sagging.

There is no better way to show off your rods than to attach them to your ceiling. Once they are there, you can easily point at them and boast about your wow-worthy collection.

As simple as it is, this plan is all about equipping the hangers on your ceiling.

But we do want to note that this project is not a cheap one, as you will need to fork out some cash for pipe hangers. Even the cheapest hanger, made out of PVC, still cost around 40 bucks.

This rod rack design values efficiency above all else. It can fit the most rods with reels at the same time while taking up the least space. This incredible capacity is thanks to the design of the bottom rod rest.

Rather than using the usual 1-row design, this plan has 2 rows. It makes use of smart rod placement gaps to fill in as many rods as possible.

The decision of leaving the rods facing outward, essentially saving space by not letting the bulkier parts meet, also helps tremendously.

Project details: outdoorlife.com

The fishing rods when not properly stored then it can take up quite a bit of space either in your garage or your house. With this DIY fishing rod holder guide, we have ensured that you now no longer have this issue.

Each of these 32 projects has its own unique advantages. That is why it can shine the most in unique and specific circumstances.

For this reason, we are confident that there is at least one plan capable of satisfying your requirements.

How To Make A Fishing Rod Holder

Whichever type of DIY fishing rod holder you choose to make, there are a few basic steps that you will need to follow:

Step 1: Decide on the size and shape of your holder

The first step is to decide on the size and shape of your holder. You will need to measure the length and diameter of your fishing rods, and then use those measurements to create a template for your holder.

Step 2: Cut the PVC pipe and fittings

To create your PVC fishing rod holder, you will need to cut the pipe and fittings according to your template. Make sure that you make the cuts as smooth as possible. You will also want to clean up each end of the fitting before attaching it to the next piece of pipe.

Step 3: Attach all of the PVC pieces

Once you have cut the pipe and fittings, it is time to attach them. Use PVC cement to glue the pieces together. Make sure that you allow adequate time for the cement to dry before moving on to the next step.

Step 4: Drill the mounting holes

Now that your fishing rod holder is assembled, you will need to drill the mounting holes. This will allow you to attach it to a wall or other surface.

Step 5: Paint or decorate your holder

Once the holder is assembled and mounted, you can then paint or decorate it however you like. You can paint it in any color, and add stickers to personalize it.

Build v.s. Buy?

Diy fishing rod holders are cost-effective.

If you make them yourself, it will cost you substantially less than purchasing one. There are several different types of DIY rods that can be made depending on how much time and money you want to invest in the project. You can also mix and match materials to create a holder that is perfect for your needs.

They are easy to make

The basic steps for making a DIY fishing rod holder are very easy to follow, and even novice DIYers should be able to make one without too much trouble.

They can be customized

As mentioned earlier, you can customize your holder in any way that you like. This is great for displaying your favorite fishing gear and personalizing the area with your flare.

They are lightweight

If you are out on the water, then you do not want to bring something too heavy with you. The PVC pipe and fittings make your homemade fishing rod holder very lightweight, which makes it perfect for taking along when you go fishing.

Saves space

DIY holders are unique because they can be made to fit any size or shape of a fishing rod, which makes it an ideal way to store and display your gear without taking up too much space.

The pipe and fittings are flimsy.

If you choose to use PVC pipe and fittings to make your holder, you will need to be careful when assembling it. The pieces can be somewhat flimsy, which means that you may have some trouble adjusting the size of the rod opening if needed.

You will also need to find a way to secure the holder to a surface so that it does not move around.

They can be time-consuming

If you are not familiar with DIY projects , then making your fishing rod holder can take some time. You will need to find the right materials, measure and cut the pipe and fittings, and then drill the mounting holes.

If you are not taking your time, then this may result in making mistakes that will need to be corrected.

They can be dangerous for children

If you have young children, then you should keep them away from the holder after it is completed and mounted on a wall or other surface.

The edges of your DIY rod holders can be sharp and dangerous, so it is important to take precautions when storing and using your gear.

Care and maintenance tips

• You should keep your holder away from moisture. If you are not planning to use it for a long period, you will need to store your DIY rod holder in a dry location so that it is protected.
• After you have used the holder, clean it thoroughly before storing it. You can use mild soap and water or an alcohol-based cleaner to clean the holder and make sure that it is free of any dirt or debris.
• You should also check all mounting screws and fittings to make sure they are secure and in good condition. If any of the screws or fittings are loose, then you will need to replace them before using the holder again.
• If you have trouble with your holder mounting to a wall or other surface, you can use a few different methods to make sure it stays in place. Some people will add a sealant around the holes to make sure that screws do not go through them and stick out on the other side. You can also put a thin strip of felt between the screw and the rod holder which will prevent it from moving. ( Source )

Making your own DIY fishing rod holder is a great way to save money and customize the look and feel of your gear. The basic steps are easy to follow, and you can make adjustments depending on the materials that you choose to use.

Just be sure to take your time and follow the safety precautions listed above so that you can enjoy your new holder for years to come.

DIY: Building A Fishing Rod Carrier That Can Trek Cross-Country

My father typically rents a van to make our somewhat frequent trips to the coast during the summer as it better accommodates the mounds of gear we bring when we vacation. This makes it easy to pack in the surf rods without too much hassle.

Unfortunately, with the rental companies selling their fleets during COVID-19, rentals are few and far between, and if you can find one, you will have to pay dearly for it.

I decided to jump in and build a rod carrier that could handle the trek to Alabama on the roof rack of their Subaru.

How To Build It

Building the rod tube, materials needed.

• 4″ PVC Pipe
• 4″ PVC Slip End Cap
• 4″ Threaded Fitting
• 4″ Threaded End Cap
• Protective Foam
• Grouting Sponge (2)

Step 1: Cut the Tube to Length

Using your maximum length rod as a point of reference, cut the tube 3” longer than your longest rod.

In my case the longest rod is 7’6” so I cut the tube to 7’8”.

Begin by laying out the 1” square tube as seen in the picture above and welding the frame together. The heavier 11ga square tube will help to anchor the frame.

Step 2: Cut Padding for the Caps

Using the cap as a template, cut two circles of grouting sponge to serve as padding for the end caps.

Step 3: Glue on the Slip Cap

Place one of the circles of sponge inside the side you plan to cap.

Glue the slip cap onto one end of the pipe.

Step 4: Glue the Threaded Cap Receiver

Glue the threaded cap receiver onto the other end of the pipe.

Building the Adjustable Brackets

The brackets are made from aluminum angle connected to a length of flat stock. The brackets are designed to be adjustable to fit any size luggage rack bar. I chose to route mine to allow that adjustability.

Tip: Screw It Tight You want everything here snug! I use some door wax to coax the dowel through the same-size hole but you can drill out slightly with a hand drill. You can also use needle nose to open up the alligator clip attachment point a bit.

• 4″ Plumber’s U-bolts
• 1″ (1/4″ thick) Aluminum Flat Bar
• 1.5″ x 1.5″ (1/8″ wall) Aluminum Angle

Step 1: Cut Angle for Adjustable Bracket Ends

Cut four 6″ lengths of aluminum angle. Two pieces are used per bracket, and you will need two brackets to hold the rod tube.

Step 2: Align and Scribe the Top of the Brackets

Its important to ensure that the brackets hardware will lineup with each other. Using two machine vises, I lineup all four brackets and score a straight line across the top using a square.

Step 3: Scribe the Bottom of the Bracket

Using the U-bolt as a template (the spread will vary on each U-bolt so just pick one), align the top line with the center of one threaded end of the U-bolt.

Mark and scribe a line at the bottom of the bracket where the center of the other threaded end of the U-bolt will land.

Step 4: Mark the Drill Location for the U-bolts

Find the center of the bracket where you want to drill the hole for the u-bolt. Be sure to account for the extra 1/8″ angle on the bottom-side.

Scribe a line down the center. Using a punch, mark the interaction of the lines at both the top and bottom of the bracket. This will be where you drill.

Step 5: Drill the U-Bolt Holes for All Four Brackets

Align your drill bit with the intersection you marked at the top and bottom of each bracket and drill a 3/8″ hole. Take your time as precision is key here.

Tip: Work Your Way Up Don’t immediately start with the 3/8″ drill bit. Use a small bit to make the first hole and incrementally work your way up. The drilling will be easier and more precise.

Check the bracket is aligned properly by test fitting after you finish each side.

Step 6: Mark the Center of One Side of the Bracket

The bracket will have one fixed-side and one adjustable side. You need to drill a hole to accommodate the adjustable side.

Measure the distance between to the two holes and mark the center with a punch.

Tip: Find the Center Quick I love using digital calipers with aluminum. You can quickly find the distance between the two holes, divide it by two and using the digital calipers, scribe the center.

Step 7: Drill The Center Hole on the Adjustable-side of the Bracket

Drill a 5/16″ hole at the marked center of one-side of the bracket. Again, work your way up from a smaller bit to the 5/16″ bit.

Step 8: Cut Lengths to Form the Adjustable Channel

Cut four 9″ lengths of the 1″x 1/4″ stock. This will be used to form the channel the links the two brackets.

Step 9: Attach the Fixed End of Each Bracket

The 9″ length of stock will be welded to side of the bracket without the middle screw. Be sure to clamp it where a 5/16″ screw can easily slide into the center hole.

Weld the first piece in place.

Step 10: Weld the Remaining Channel

On the other side of the hole, being sure the pieces are parallel and a screw can easily fit the entire length of the channel, weld the second piece in place.

Weld all sides of each piece of 1″ stock and the fixed-side of the bracket.

Step 11: Cut the End Piece of the Channel

In order to firm up the channel, cut an end piece of scrap stock the width of the channel pieces. You can use a small length of the 1″ stock if you do not have scrap.

I chose to use a smaller piece of scrap stock.

Step 12: Attach the End of the Channel

Weld the piece cut in step 11 to the end of the channel.

Step 13: Assemble the Bracket

Place a small washer on top of the angle iron and thread the 5/16″ x 1″ bolt through the bracket and the channel.

Place a larger fender washer on the back and hand-tighten a nyloc nut.

Step 14: Attach the U-Bolts

Thread the U-Bolts into each bracket and hand tighten the provided nuts with the U-bolts onto each end. Your bracket is complete.

Final Product

Upon completion, you should have a rock-solid carrier that can adjust to any car rack you throw its way.

DIY Fishing Rod Holder (20 Ways)

Starting my own DIY projects at home has always been something I enjoyed. It’s a good way to use my hands and mind to make something useful.

With the right materials and a bit of patience, you can make a durable and aesthetically pleasing rod holder. This guide will walk you through the essentials, from selecting materials to step-by-step instructions , ensuring your fishing rods are stored safely and conveniently.

The process involves measuring, marking, drilling, and assembling, tailored to accommodate your specific storage needs.

Following our step-by-step instructions will help you avoid common pitfalls, ensuring a smooth building experience. Keep reading for some creative customization ideas and helpful troubleshooting tips that will make your fishing rod holder stand out.

Ready to tackle this project? Let’s dive into the materials you’ll need to get started and move step by step towards making a rod holder that not only serves its purpose but also reflects your personal style.

Materials You’ll Need:

• Two 6-foot long 1×4 pieces of wood (for top and bottom racks)
• Additional 1×4 piece for wall mounting
• Trim head screws (#6, 2.25 inches) for bonding wood pieces
• Larger screws (#10, 3.125 inches) for mounting the rack to the wall
• Hole saw (2 and 1/8 inches wide)
• Router or spade drill bit (optional for the bottom rack)
• Drill with pilot bit
• Measuring tape and pencil
• Square or straight edge

Step by Step Instructions:

Learn how to make a simple, cheap, & extremely strong fishing rod rack with our step-by-step guide below:

1. Measure and Mark the Wood:

First, measure and mark the center of your 1×4 pieces along their length. For the top piece where the rod handles will go, mark the center at one and three-quarters inches. This center line will guide you to where to place your holes.

2. Marking and Drilling Holes:

Starting three inches from the edge, mark where each hole will go along the top piece of wood, spacing them about four inches apart. This spacing ensures reels won’t collide. Use a hole saw to carefully drill out each marked spot.

3. Preparing the Bottom Rack:

The bottom rack needs indents to hold the base of the rods. Clamp the top and bottom pieces together and mark through the holes onto the bottom piece. Use a router or a spade bit to make a shallow dip that corresponds with each hole above.

4. Making the Slots:

For the top rack, make a notch from the edge of each hole to the edge of the wood. This allows you to easily place and remove rods. Use a straight edge to mark out these slots before sawing them out.

5. Sand and Prep:

Sand down all the wood pieces to remove any rough edges, making sure each part is smooth to the touch and free of any pencil marks.

6. Assemble the Rod Rack:

Use wood glue and trim head screws to attach the top and bottom racks to the additional 1×4 piece, which will serve as the mount for your wall. Ensure that it’s centered and straight.

7. Mounting the Rack:

Find the studs in your wall and pre-drill holes. Secure the assembled rack to the wall studs using the larger screws. Be sure to check for level during this step to ensure your rods hang straight.

Customization Ideas

One of the best aspects of a DIY fishing rod holder is the ability to customize it to your specific needs and preferences. Here are some ideas to make your fishing rod holder uniquely yours:

Material Choices

Consider different materials . While wood is a common choice for DIY projects, don’t limit yourself. You could use metal or PVC pipes for a different look and feel.

Design Modifications

Modify the design to suit your needs . If you frequently fish with different types of rods, consider making holders of different sizes. You could also add extra features like a handle for easy transport or a strap for secure storage.

Personal Touches

Add personal touches . Paint your fishing rod holder in your favorite color, or add decals or stickers that reflect your personal style. You could even carve or burn your initials into the wood for a truly personalized holder.

The goal of a DIY project is not just to make something useful, but also to have fun and express your creativity. So, don’t be afraid to think outside the box and make your fishing rod holder truly one of a kind!

Troubleshooting Guide

When working on a DIY project like a fishing rod holder, you might encounter some issues. Here’s a guide to help you troubleshoot common problems:

Problem: The Holder is Unstable

Solution : Check the base of your holder. It should be flat and sturdy. If it’s wobbly, you might need to add more support or consider using a heavier material for the base.

Problem: Rods Don’t Fit

Solution : The diameter of the holes should be slightly larger than the diameter of your fishing rods. If your rods don’t fit, you might need to widen the holes. Remember to sand the edges to prevent damage to your rods.

Problem: Wood is Splintering

Solution : This could be due to the type of wood you’re using or the sharpness of your tools. Make sure you’re using sharp tools and sand the wood thoroughly after cutting.

Problem: Holder is Not Weather Resistant

Solution : If your holder isn’t withstanding the elements well, consider applying a weather-resistant finish. This can help protect the wood from moisture and sunlight.

Every problem has a solution. Don’t get discouraged if you run into issues. With a little patience and troubleshooting, you’ll have a functional and durable fishing rod holder in no time.

Safety Precautions

When making a DIY fishing rod holder, safety should be your top priority. Here are some safety tips to keep in mind:

Personal Protective Equipment

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) . This includes:

• Safety glasses : Protect your eyes from flying debris when cutting or drilling.
• Work gloves : Protect your hands from splinters and sharp tools.
• Dust mask : Protect your lungs from dust when sanding the wood.

Safe Tool Use

Use your tools safely . Remember the following:

• Power tools : Always disconnect power tools when changing bits or blades.
• Sharp tools : Always cut away from your body when using knives or other sharp tools.
• Clamps : Use clamps or a vise to hold your workpiece steady. Never hold it in your hand.

Work Area Safety

Keep your work area safe . Here are some tips:

• Well-lit : Make sure your workspace is well-lit to avoid mistakes.
• Clean : Keep your workspace clean and free of clutter to prevent accidents.
• Fire safety : Keep a fire extinguisher nearby if you’re working with flammable materials.

Safety first! By following these precautions, you can ensure a safe and successful DIY project.

Maintenance Tips

Maintaining your DIY fishing rod holder is crucial to ensure its longevity and functionality. Here are some tips to help you keep your fishing rod holder in the best possible condition:

Regular Cleaning

Clean your fishing rod holder regularly . Dust, dirt, and grime can accumulate over time, which can affect the holder’s performance. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the holder. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the material.

Check for Damage

Inspect your fishing rod holder for any signs of damage . Look for cracks, loose screws, or any other signs of wear and tear. If you spot any damage, repair it as soon as possible to prevent further deterioration.

Protect from Weather

Protect your fishing rod holder from harsh weather conditions . If the holder is made of wood, consider applying a coat of weather-resistant paint or varnish to protect it from moisture and sunlight.

Store Properly

Store your fishing rod holder properly when not in use . Keep it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. This can help prevent warping and fading.

If you have a lot of different types of rods, you may want to choose a fishing rod holder that can accommodate them all. If you only have one or two types of rods, you may be able to get away with using a smaller holder.

DIY Vertical Fishing Rod Rack

https://youtu.be/j2eSvE5ieTA

The first thing you need to do is to measure your space. Once that is done, take a piece of the plywood and cut it in half. You will use both pieces. The next step would be to mark a line down its length, slightly more than half an inch from the edge. This is where you will start cutting your first slots. Make sure you do this on both pieces of the wood.

Once you are done with that, look at the video above to see where the second set of slots should go. It should be right below the first set of slots. Cut those as well, and then place one piece of plywood on top of the other so that their edges are aligned perfectly. Cut additional slots for the support rods about two inches from the edge. This way, you end up with four slots per foot if it were to run straight down from one end to another. Create additional slots for attaching fishing rod support pieces that come with each rod holder kit you purchase.

DIY Fishing Pole Holder By Eric Lindberg

This particular project is unique in that it uses a scrap wood board that’s larger than the side pieces. This board is the one that will make the bottom part of your rack sturdy enough to hold your fishing rod. This rack is also unique in that it has a bottom piece. This piece is thin, but its main purpose is to keep the bottom support extra strong.

Another reason why this rack is unique among others of its kind is due to its aesthetics. It uses a lot of different angled cuts and notches, such as on the side pieces and front part. However, there’s one thing: if you want to construct this rack, you can’t skip constructing the top shelf, or else it won’t be balanced anymore!

A novice woodworker can complete this project in no time. The design allows you to utilize all types of scrap wood that you might have lying around to create the perfect rack for your needs. The beauty about this rack is that it can be customized for whatever storage space you need it for. This design can be modified very easily whether you want the rods to stand upright or horizontally. By adding shelves or cutting out extra rod slots on the sideboards, you will get extra storage space that most other racks cannot offer.

11 RV Fishing Rod Storage Ideas [catch the big one while camping]

Sharing is caring!

Getting out and enjoying nature is one of the greatest pleasures of camping. But if you’re an avid fisher, you may run into the issue of ‘where to store a fishing rod in an RV.’ Check out these 11 RV fishing rod storage ideas.

Hopefully one of them will work for you and your RV.

Where to store a fishing rod in an RV?

Some of the ideas in this article are commercial products intended for fishing rod storage, and some of them are clever DIY ideas devised by RV’ers like you.

1) Store in the Shower

A lot of people in the Facebook groups I’m in say they store their fishing rods in their shower. They just prop them upright against the shower wall.

2) Lay on the Bed

This is another easy option for storing your fishing rod. I read a man’s comment in an online group where he said that his fishing rod was too expensive to store anywhere else. 🙂

3) Store your fishing rod in zippered rod bags…

There are tons of fishing rod storage bags out there. (My telescoping rod came with its own storage bag.)

The above fishing rod storage bag is just one of several I found on Amazon. It is available in 2 different sizes depending on your needs.

It is available in a 130cm size (just over 51-inches), and a 150cm size (59-inches).

If you have minimal fishing gear a compact case like this could double as your tackle box too. It has 3 main interior compartments, and 2 pockets on the outside for extra tackle and gear.

4) Fly Fishing Rod Storage Tubes

This fly fishing rod storage tube has a simple tube design with a zippered end.

This tube comes in two size. It is intended to hold a 9-foot long fly fishing rod , but which storage tube you buy will depend on your particular rod.

Does your fly fishing rod separate into 3 pieces or 4 pieces? ( Some rods break down into 2,3,4 and more pieces!)

The company Clear Creek makes this in a version to store a 3-piece fishing rod , and they make a version that holds a 4-piece fly fishing pole.

It is a popular option for storing your fly fishing rod.

5) Inside a PVC tube mounted in RV basement

DIY PVC RV hacks are everywhere on the internet. And using a PVC pipe to store a fishing rod is just another way to use this plumbing material. Mount the PVC pipe in your RV basement (AKA the pass-through…or storage area), and then insert your fishing rod into the tube . You may have to remove the reel depending on the diameter of the pipe, or you could cut a notch in the pipe to accommodate the reel.

6) Inside your RV Bumper or Bumper Storage Tube

If your RV already has a hollow bumper for storage, you could potentially store your rod in there. You may to have to remove the reel and just put the fishing rods inside the bumper. (Many people already have their blackwater hose in here though.)

If your RV doesn’t have a storage bumper, the company V alterra makes the above adjustable storage tube that you mount to the bumper of your RV. It is intended for RV sewer hoses, but you could use for fishing rods too.

Because your rods will bounce around inside these tubes or bumpers, you should wrap your rods in cloth or foam or prevent damage during travel days.

7) Berkeley Fishing Rod Holders (horizontal or vertical storage)

Lots of RV’ers use these in their trailers. But do you travel over really rough roads?

The product shown above is the horizontal 6-rod holder by Berkley . You can get creative with these and mount them as it suits your particular RV.

• Some people mount them to the walls of their storage area (the pass-through compartment)
• You could try mounting these to the “ceiling” of the RV basement area (pass-through) to prevent them from getting damaged on the floor by tools or other equipment.
• You could potentially even mount them to a wall inside your RV

They also make a vertical fishing rod holder that you can find on Amazon . (It is shown below.)

8) Mount a Broom and Mop Holder to the wall of RV basement

This is a DIY idea that mimics what you can accomplish with the Berkley fishing rod holder shown above.

But instead of a dedicated fishing rod holder you use a broom holder mounted to the wall.

Place the handle of the rods into the broom-holder clips, and on the other end use hooks to hold up the tips. (So the rod is suspended horizontally along the length of the wall.)

9) Fishing rod holder with straps

Once again this is similar to the RV fishing rod storage ideas I just mentioned but this one has the benefit of a strap to help keep your rods in place . This may be especially helpful if you traverse really bumpy roads in your pursuit of catching the big one.

It is made by attwood. It comes as a set of two. You mount them on the wall so one holder will hold the handle of the rods, and the other holder will hold the tips.

You can click here to check out more details on Amazon.

10) Wall-mounted, or ceiling-mounted Wooden Fishing Rod holder

The company “Old Cedar Outfitters” makes this attractive fishing rod holder. You can mount it to your ceiling (as shown above), or on a wall.

It wouldn’t be great for travel days, but it would work well for once you’re set up at your campsite.

Just grab your fishing rod off the rack and you’re ready to go.

On travel days you could tie your rods into place, or lay them on your bed like we saw earlier in this article.

If you’re handy with wood, you could create your own wooden fishing rod holder. Creating a wooden DIY solution like this (with slight modification) could also give you a spot to hang a broom, fire pokers and wiener-roasting sticks. But you’ll probably want to have some eye-hooks on the ends of the wood so you can use a bungee cord to strap your fishing rods in place.

11) Hang your Fishing Rods Using Fabric Straps

This could be a good RV fishing rod storage idea for people that don’t want to screw into their walls.

You could use a strong Command Hooks to hold the metal D-hooks on this fishing rod storage webbing.

Such a cool idea. But would it work for your RV?

This version shown is the 6-rod holder, but they also make a 9-rod holder if you go fishing with a large family.

If you were handy you could make something similar using a stapler and nylon strapping (like the packaging that comes around appliances). Staple the strapping to a piece of wood leaving pockets to hold your fishing rod.

I hope one of these RV fishing rod storage ideas will help you on your next camping adventure.

One thing I want to point out is that NOT every idea will work for every RV’er.

You’ll need to analyze your needs and find one that works for you. Find an option that suits your RV and the dimensions of your fishing rod too!

6 Steps to Making a DIY Fishing Rod Holder

By Debbie Hanson

Dec 02, 2021

Step-by-step for building DIY fishing rod holder to prevent rod damage, stay organized, extend the life of your fishing rods using inexpensive materials

You can build a simple DIY fishing rod holder to help prevent the unnecessary stress and damage that happens when rods are leaned up against a wall or stuck in a corner. In addition, a do it yourself rod holder can keep your lines from getting tangled up, prevents rod tips or guides from getting nicked, and is a great way to stay organized.

The best part? Most do it yourself rod holders can be constructed in a couple of hours and require just a few inexpensive items that can be found at any hardware store. Check out the materials needed and easy steps to make your own garage fishing rod holder.

DIY Fishing Rod Holder Materials

• 2-inch PVC pipe (1 foot of PVC pipe per rod)
• Two 4-foot x 8-foot pieces of plywood
• 1 ¼-inch plywood screws
• Screwdriver or screw gun

DIY Fishing Rod Holder Steps

Making your own DIY fishing pole holder is a great rainy-day project that only requires six steps.

When making this homemade fishing rod holder, the first step is to secure the plywood backing to the studs in your unfinished garage or basement using wood screws. If your garage is finished, get the appropriate type of screw for the medium or material that you will be mounting your PVC rod holders to.

Next, cut the PVC into 1-foot sections using a hacksaw (you can also ask your local hardware store if they can cut it into 1-foot sections for you). As far as the number of 1-foot sections, make sure you have one section for each rod.

Measure out the spacing of the PVC pipe on the wood backing based on personal preference and the size of the reels. When it comes to fishing pole storage ideas, this DIY project is very practical because you can customize the build based on the number of fishing rods and sizes of the reels you have.

Drill two holes on the outside of the PVC pipe. One should be about 2 inches from the bottom of the PVC and one should be about 2 inches from the top of the PVC. Make sure the size of the outside hole is large enough so that you can get a screwdriver or screw gun through it.

Put a smaller drill bit on and use the outside holes to drill two smaller holes from the inside out (these holes should be just slightly larger than the shaft of the screw so that the head of the screw will cinch down on the PVC and keep it secure to the wall).

Use a screwdriver or screw gun to screw the PVC pipe to the plywood at both the top and bottom.

Once your fishing rod holder DIY project is complete, just place your rod grips inside of the PVC pipes.

3 DIY Truck Bed Fishing Rod Holders You Can Construct Today (With Pictures)

• Last updated: Feb 13 2024

If you’re an avid fisherman, you know that there’s nothing worse than having to leave your fishing rods at home because you don’t have a place to store them while you’re driving.

But with a little bit of creativity and some basic carpentry skills, you can easily build one of these three DIY truck bed fishing rod holders and never have to leave your rods behind again!

The 3 DIY Truck Bed Fishing Rod Holders

1. diy rod holder for your truck.

This first DIY fishing rod holder is probably the simplest to construct, and it only requires a few materials that you likely already have lying around the house. All you need is a length of PVC pipe (about 3 feet should do the trick), a hacksaw, and some sandpaper.

To construct this fishing rod holder, cut the PVC pipe into four equal pieces using the hacksaw. Then, take a piece of sandpaper and rough up the inside of each PVC pipe section. This will help to keep your fishing rods in place while you’re driving.

Once you’ve roughed up the inside of the PVC pipe sections, place them over your fishing rods, and you’re good to go!

2. PVC Pipe Fishing Rod Holder with Foam

If you want a slightly more secure option for holding your fishing rods in place, you can add a layer of foam to the inside of your PVC pipe holder. This will help to grip the rods and keep them from sliding around.

To do this, cut a length of foam pipe insulation (available at any hardware store) that is slightly longer than your PVC pipe sections. Then, slit the foam down the middle so that you can slide it over the PVC pipe. Once you’ve done this, rough up the inside of the foam with sandpaper so that it will grip the rods better.

3. Rack & Carrier PVC Pipe Fishing Rod Holder

This PVC pipe fishing rod holder is a great option if you want something that is both cheap and easy to construct. Use the full PVC length and glue the end caps on. Then, add the couplers (threaded) and O rings to secure the rods in place.

The foam insulation will protect your rods, and the camping pad will keep them from sliding around. This is a sturdy yet inexpensive option that you can easily make at home.

If you’re handy with tools, you can knock out this project in a couple of hours. If you wish, you can attach a toolbox , which you will find in the plans. But you’re free to omit this if you just want a straightforward rod holder for your truck.

DIY Truck Bed Fishing Rod Holder Tips

Before you get started on your own DIY truck bed fishing rod holder, here are a few tips to keep in mind. These will ensure that your holder is both functional and stylish.

Use PVC Pipe for a Cheap and Easy Solution

You can find PVC pipe at any hardware store, and it’s easy to work with. Cut the pipe to the desired length, then glue or tape it securely in place.

Don’t Be Afraid to Upgrade

PVC is actually a really good material for a fishing rod holder, but if you want to get a little fancy (and have the budget for it), there are plenty of other options out there. You can find holders made from aluminum, stainless steel, or even carbon fiber.

Always Make Sure the Pipe Is Securely Attached

This is especially important if you’re going to be carrying more than one rod. You don’t want the pipe to come loose and smack you in the head while you’re driving!

If You’re Not Sure, Ask for Help

There’s no shame in asking for help when you’re working on a project like this. If you’re not sure how to do something, just ask a friend or family member who’s handy with tools.

Now that you know a few tips, it’s time to get started on your own DIY truck bed fishing rod holder!

Building your very own truck bed fishing rod holders is a great way to save money and have a great time doing it. Plus, you’ll be the talk of the town when you show off your new fishing gear to all your friends.

These three DIY truck bed fishing rod holders are easy to construct and will have you ready to hit the open road in no time.
