Trying to get creative with rod storage when it comes to our truck. With a bed length of only 6” and wanting to use the bed for other things I am thinking of using these to make my own storage to mount to a roof rack.
I can customize their lengths and they are also lockable. Has anybody used anything like this?
TIA,

Inconvenience of taking reels off is really the only major down fall. When I was manufacture repping for a rod company, that’s how I transported larger quantities of sample rods. I suggest using rod sleeves

Agree with the inconvenience of taking reels off. The plan is to use rods sleeves for protection.

I made 2 of them out of 8″ PVC. They do the trick and work but like Randy said, taking all the reels off sucks. I could fit 3 rods in with the reels. Anything more I would have to start removing them. I did like the fact that I could put a cable around a tree and lock them down for the night. I glued foam onto the end cap so if I had to stop hard the tips wouldn’t go smashing into the PVC.
You could add a short 6″ or 8″ round PVC for the reel, Wound kinda look like my potato gun.

Roadwork, did you use similar end caps as to what I posted? Thank you for the tip of adding foam to the end caps.
