Rod Storage at Home Ideas

[Corey_lax]

Ive been lacking rod storage at home for a while and recently acquired some more rods so I need to build some new storage racks of some kind at home and looking for ideas. What does every have at home for their rod storage that isn’t just leaning it against a wall.

I got rods of all different types and sizes, and small reels or big reels so they need room in between them. Sturgeon rods, Hali rods, mooching rods, lake casting rods, river casting rods. All have a different lengths and thicknesses so it’s hard to use a generic rod holder because they don’t fit with different thicknesses. I probably have 15 setups that I would organized in a rack of some sort. I’m thinking I might mount some pvc pipes to the ceiling of the basement so that I can mount them to the ceiling out of the way and grab them as needed.

What do you guys do to store rods of all different types in an organized fashion that doesn’t take up much real estate? Pics are much appreciated

I just used some 1" ABS 90s and a few 1" ABS caps with some 1" wood doweling. Went threw the center of the caps into the roof of my garage, came down 5" to a 90 deg and went 4ft across. Kinda like a upside down car top luggage rack. Don't have any pics of it

Found a crappy one lol

Been thinking of finding an old pool cue rack and making some adjustments to it. I don't have tall enough ceilings (where I'm allowed to hide my hoard), so some would have to store in two pieces. But it should work well enough.

Since I do woodwork in my garage, I made a storage cabinet to keep sawdust from most of my gear. Limited on rod length so my one piece rods don't fit. I use the top portion for all the smaller stuff.

The space between the open garage door and the garage ceiling is a place a lot of people use well may/may not work for you.

Living in apartment this is what I'm stuck with-works 'ok' if you're careful.

I built this out of 1" and some 1 1/4" pvc pipe and works good, Keeps the rods close the wall out of the way. And it holds all different rod lengths and styles fine.

Mine is similar to the one Almar22 showed above, but instead of the notched tabs for the tip end I used screw in tea cup hooks.

Had to resort to this in my garage after basement suite renos - works ok.

This has the potential to be thread of the year. Oh wait, sorry, July 15 and 31st are approaching. Maybe thread of the year in November. I love seeing home organizing tips. PVC,wood, bungee cords, yeah.

Very clearly, I do not have enough rods. No where near enough.

Let’s be honest, you can never have enough. Gotta have the right tool for the job. Gotta have a rod for all circumstances.

Finally, somebody that understands.
