Rod Holder for Truck
2 Attachment(s)
Built this last night, got tired of my rods getting beat to death in the back of my truck. I always hated that track system that was installed in the bed, but I finally found a use for it. I didn't have to drill any holes to attach it.

I didn't want them to stick up too high in case I forget they are back there and go a drive thru or try to park under the camp. A 7'-6" rod stuck up only about 1 foot above the roof of my truck. The only draw back is that an ice chest can slam into the rods. I am still working on another way to protect them.

While your there you could pick up a container of those short (6in) bungee straps. Will work gread for strapping around and over the top of each reel to hold them secure to the pvc holders. |

Why dont you just put a board on the 2x4 that extends out long enough so the chest will never hit them? Just n case you forget to put the ratchet thing

You may be able to just loop over the reel and hook to the bottom of the PVC pube. |
