Garage rod rack

Hugh Bailey · May 13, 2019

Hi,

Looking to put up a couple of rod racks in the garage - one on the wall and probably one from the ceiling joists. Am looking at this sort of thing

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rapala-Lock-Hold-Rod-Rack/dp/B001NXC7KO

Or the equivalent much cheaper Berkeley one

Berkley Rod Racks Vertical Rod Rack – Glasgow Angling Centre

Anyone used anything similar in the past - good / bad?

Many thanks for your help!

I have these from ebay fitted inside my tackle cupboard door for some of my rods.

They're OK, but I see nicer rod racks are available now and I am very tempted. Should add, I fitted a home-made tray at the bottom of the door to keep the rods off the floor, otherwise I couldn't open the door.

This is not a wall rack, but I'm finding it handy for holding made-up rods that used to be propped up against the wall a bit precariously. Not the best demo - I'll have more rods set up, for barbel and so on, when the season starts

I tried to find it on ebay again, but that particular item doesn't seem to be there now. It was a reasonable price, £21, and will hold 12 rods. Here's the pic from the old advert

I have two right angle brackets covered in pipe lagging on the wall, cheap as chips.

Is this the advert Kev? Stillwater Mini Silver Rod Rack – Glasgow Angling Centre

If so the price seems to have doubled to £39.99 now,

Just done exactly the same in my loft , after boarding it . I got the idea from a fishing mate of mine.

Another very simple way is to mount foam tubing onto the wall with double sided adhesive velcro. The rods push into the slits cut in the foam. No drilling whatsoever although not very street cred.

That looks the same - but I didn't buy it from Glasgow, and, as you say, the price was just over half that.

With limited space available I had to fit a rack above my garage
door- it's simple but very accommodating .

Now I could do that; cheers Mick!

Glad you like it Mike,
Now- that's £30 for the consultation and another £20 for the photographic services ! Lol ??????

Cheap at half the price! Don't forget to add costs for " dislocation" ie a pita client, having to think about it on your day off etc etc.

Sadly my door is the roller type with limited space above the roller so not really on! It was no do no fee wasn't it?

My effort. Copied from a plastic version I saw online, possibly eBay...

mikench · May 15, 2019

I would rather store my rods in their bag, hard case or cordura tube than strapped together just in case and to avoid dust etc!

Enjoyed seeing peoples creations here.

I tend to think of up in the air roof storage as longer term for rod in tubes and along wall for short term made up rods.

A line of nicely made up rods along a wall gets the fishing juices flowing
