I'm bouncing back & forth how to store my rods along the ceiling in my 2dr Blazer (beater vehicle used for boat towing and winter driving) so that my two kids and three dogs don't get into them when we're traveling around.
I'm sure I'm not the first person on this site to have pondered over addressing this, I've tried bungees strung from oh-#*&!-bar to oh-#*&!-bar and there's just too much slop with them sliding side to side and bouncing up & down. I'm fairly tall too, so keeping everything tight to the ceiling is a must. The setups from BassPro seem to be more of the same bungee style rigs, so I'm not keen on them. I was thinking of running 3/4" PVC mounted to bows run side to side along the headliner and notching out the tubes at the end like you would a rod holder on a saltwater rig, but that's a lot of material to have hung all over and I didn't want to go that route if someone has come up with something cleaner.
