Rod storage on the cheap

Already posted one pic on refurbish thread.
Scrap wood, four screws, and a little paint. Only one screw at the top. Tried to come up with something using existing seat straps, but nothing clicked.

Nice! Professional looking.

I have had wood brackets fail on me though - cracking along the grain of the wood, but this is from years of hard pounding in fresh and salt. If I had to do those over (another project!) I would do it using some kind of plastic or man made material like hardboard or an old chopping board.

For vertical rod holders I have used the good old PVC piping held in by the electrical conduit clamps. Works just fine. Not sure how to turn this picture right side up though!

Looks very functional. If you have a router or a drill press, rounding the edges can be a good thing, but heck....it does the job.

Function over form!

... I just got seasick looking at Tinny's boat ...

Stand on your head.

Is it right side up to people in China? :LOL2:

How many does it hold? I think your brackets may be confused![emoji6]

Fixed it for ya'
Looks more like rod holders rather than rod storage.

Add some Velcro straps and they will never pop out, I like' em!

Yea, I guess I could have while on the band saw. But it works.

Possibility. Even thought about lining it with felt, but wanted to make it simple.

great job on the rod storage! I'm thinking about a similar plan on my stabilizers
