Let's see your rod racks

mygreenihc · June 21, 2019, 09:57:25 AM

I am finally cleaning up my garage and organizing things. this is not one of my stronger traits, but it is getting done. Once I finish organizing everything, i will donate part of my garage to myself for organized fishing equipment. How are you guys doing this? I have seen desks with pegboard behind it and a few other scenarios. If you can, take a picture of your fishing storage area and post it here. Otherwise, a description will work.

There is something terribly wrong with that picture.

Not one of them has a reel on it. What happens when a fishing emergency happens? $:-\$ I don't want to waste time stringing a rod and maybe missing the bite.

I get everything ready the night before. Depending on where Im going, and what Im going to be doing, will depend on what combination of rod/reel I will use. So, 17 reels to choose (the ones that actually get used anyways

), and like 16 rods. I have combinations for just about anything.

I have what looks to be the same round rod rack. To me it's perfect in small space like a corner. It can spin so it doesn't have to be moved to get to any of the rods. Also it holds a lot of rods and I love the fact they are vertical. The ones where rods lay horizontally always in my mind I feel are warping my rods if left for any length of time. I have a few rods I rarely use but are $200 rods I don't want to have a permanent bow in them.

I leave my reels on mostly unless im at a slow fishing time (winter) and then I take apart for thorough cleaning. I place all my reels in a bottom drawer of my chest. Not under my pillows.

I have two of this style rack It is two sided and on wheels that makes it easy to access what I want. Can also be used with the reels attached or not. One is in my man room and one is in the Garage. The garage unit is used for a ready rack. If I am going out again the next day the rods go into the ready rack so I don't have to go in the house to bring them out. I never leave my rods or reels in the boat overnight.

The bigger question is How did Lee know they were sticky at times?

I think this topic is a little personal myself!

We try to keep those two under control but we can only do so much.

You haven't seen anything yet.

To clarify, they have their own beds.
