Hey Guys,

Need photos of your rod storage solutions that you've come-up with?  BTW, when posting please let me know if you have more rods than reels or more reels than rods and why?

Thanx,

Leo

Dude, relax. If many are like me, they may not see all of the new postings. My rods are wall leaners and my reels are in the plastic drawers on rollers. Nothing fancy and it works.

Im relaxed Bryan see  .  Just thought I would see if anyone noticed.

Thank you very much for your suggestions,

Leo

I use the Okuma Rod Racks from Turners outdoors.  I look for them on sale $10 to $15 each..
They can wall mount or free stand (like I use them)...
Hold 16 rods each....
Reels I keep in Cabinet along with Baits, Line, pliers & Boga Grips etc etc etc (stuff)..LOL

I use them as you see, Double and together free standing. 
They can be used flat against the wall for 8 rods or 16 rods attached to wall??
Or separate (2 ~ 8 rod, sides to each one)...
Even saw a Video of one guy who used 8 rod for Fishing rods and second half for 8 Brooms/Mops etc in garage....

I also look for them on Sale for $10 to $15...   
Dont need any right now, Have actually gotten rid of about 20 rods and 15+ reels I just didnt need ~ Most donated.....
Almost all of that Terminal tackle you see from Closet is gone also!!!!!
Sometimes Less is more.. !!!
I can actually find what Im looking for now..   LOL :-)

Looks like I won't be doing any fishing when I finally decide to stop over and say hello  , I'll be busy building you a custom rod rack .
Bad example boss! But then again, you might have something there...life's too short.

I though you were building a reel case Sal?

I used 2 inch pvc pipe and eye bolts to attach them above my garage door. I used two pvc pipes about 7 feet apart and hung them where they would clear the garage door when it was opened. Mine or about 6 feet wide and used two sets one on each side of the electric door opener device. Each set will hold about 12 rods. The eye bolts are attached to a large s hook that is screwed into the ceiling floor joists.

About equal number of rods and reels. Freshwater rods in a vertical rack, fly rods in their tubes and saltwater in a 4-inch PVC pipe. If I fished the big pond more, I'd have the salt rods in a rack, too.

For marital bliss I have found that fishing stuff is best kept tidy. Hey I have the best wife in the world but everything has its limits. Striped reels on the dinning table and lures on the lounge floor can only be left for so long. So the big expensive rigs go in a locked cabinet with heavy duty sliding bases so you can get the ones at the back out without scratching the front ones and the small expensive ones are on home made racks. It is interesting how all the rigs once fit in the cabinets and now the (there is no way I will fill those racks) are now full with stuff now leaning in the corners. I'm sure I am not the only one with this expansion problem, am I. I have the same # of rods as reels doesn't everyone?

Locknut, you really went to work creating "custom cabinetry" for your rods.  Those drawer slide's for your trolling reel holder's are "the bee's knee's" (keeping it family friendly). 

All of your comments/idea's are why I enjoy this site.  You guys get my mind/imigination into "professional over-run" all the time (as-if I need assistance with that).  What a great idea "Mr. Locknut": "custom closet/room cabinetry for fishing equipment".  Locknut you may have started a whole new section on the fourm with pdf files of drawings/schematics (you CAD guys), more photos, and "pimped-out" area's of the man-cave's.

As an old childhood friend/surgeon would say: "aint nut'n but sumt'n to do".

Thanx again all,

Leo
