Ideas for wall mount rod holder

[Gus]

I'm looking for ideas or pictures of what others have done for a wall mounted rod holder. It'll be going in the wheel house.

Most commercial made racks I've come across are made more for open water rods. I'd like something that won't damage any of the more delicate ice rods.

What have you guys done that has worked well?

Am I crazy to think that I could leave rods in it while going down the road?

If you have the space to store the rods vertical, how about a horizontal piece of wood with a series of holes that the rods will sit into? I have that in my basement for storage and it works well. For travel just drill the holes deeper so that the rods do not bounce out. Simple solution and it has worked well for me.

I am thinking about something along those lines. I'm still curious what others have done. Something else may catch my eye.

Berkley Vertical Rod rack.

Bottom portion has a hole to put the rod into and the upper portion has a collar to lock the rods into place.

Berkley make a nice black plastic and foam wall mount rod storage system. I've got a 4 rod and a 6 rod in my house. The foam protects the rods well and they don't fall out. Great minds think alike...

We have 2 commercial bought rod holders in our wheel house. Never had a rod fall out of them in probably 8-10 years.

I made mine with pvc pipe on the bottom and Velcro strips on the top. El cheapo but it works.

I finally found a decent do it yourself solution to rod holders. Easy part is a base to hold the butt of the rod, but the rod itself is challenging. I looked high and low for some type of clips, off the shelf and found nothing real interesting to use. I ended up using a 1/2 inch piece of 3/8 inch clear vinyl tubing with an angled slit down the side. Just use a couple of small brass screws to hold it in place. The slit can be turned a bit to the side to provide more resistance to pull out. The vinyl is soft and will not scratch or wear on the rod shaft, the rod can be easily inserted, and pulled out with little effort. Super nice solution at less than a dollar each.

I bought a commecial rod rack, two of them, think it was from some marine supply place, did a quick search, can't find them, they were actually made to hold rods on the boat ceiling or sidewall. White, two bars, bottom bar has rings that you put rod handle in, top bar has clips that hold the top of the rod, mounted the bars 1 1/2 foot apart, each one holds 6 rods, my rods ride just fine going down the road. Keep looking, there are some good ones out there.

Google du-bro fishing and marine products. These are $9 for a set of three. They can be mounted vertical or horizontal.

Thats exactly what I was trying to describe in my post!!! Except they came mounted on two rails, six rings on the bottom rail, six holders on the top rail, and you can space them the way you want. Holds the rods great when traveling.

Did that Google search and the ones that Gander had are what I got. I'd buy them again.
