Truck Rod Rack
 

Well, after being careless and breaking a couple of rods in the back of my truck from the cooler, I decided to make this rod rack today. I've seen some really nice ones and while this might not be top notch quality work, it gets the job done. You might see my truck around. I live in Sulphur and go to school and work in Lake Charles.

Yea, I have questioned that sticker ever since I put it on..... Does anyone make a saltycajun sticker I could replace it with?

Welcome!!!!!!!!! hey.....nothing wrong at all with that!

PM Shadman or LaAngler.....maybe they can help ya. Welcome aboard.

we need to make some more, i'll check into if i get some free time. :smokin:

welcome aboard, really like those rod holders, gives me some ideas for how to do it with my kayak rack i have in my truck

The rod holder look pretty good! I saw you not to long ago at lafleur park, i was scoping out the truck, super clean! Nice Rig also!
Ditto i need some saltycajun stickers also!!

nice rod rack!! way to keep those rods and reels safe and in good condition! good job! u designing any kind of rod strap/lanyard for it or do ya think they will stay put at 60+ mph? i ask because i just had a buddy who had $800 worth of rods and reels fly outta the back of his truck and splatter on I-10!! :eek:

THats what i'm wondering, I have my rods strapped down on my boat and they don't get damaged but I put them in the back of the truck the guides get bent up.

I live in carlyss, pm me and I have a SC sticker that you can have

i need one of those stickers while your at it!!

need to make a locking bar that slide over them for them would be sticky fingers. Dont forget to take em out before you drive under a carport or garage or low hianging branches. I was behind a guy coming back from the point the other day, and he had his rods still up in the rod holders on top his t - top. Passed under some branches and wiped out 3 of his 4 rods.:cry:

very nice i need to make me one that would save a lot of pain and suffering

Looks good and I like that its angled. I just bolted 2 rod holders to the back of my toolbox.

I was thinking about getting some to bolt on to my tool box got any pics of what you did?

Well I left my house this morning with 4rods and still had 4 when I got to the launch.
