Fly Rod Rack
 

I have a wall mount fly rod rack I built myself and is less than
desireable. It takes up alot of wall space (60" wide and 42" tall). It
holds 10 rods and tubes horizontally. Wife says it has to go. I am
looking for a rack that will sit on the floor and hold rods and tubes
in an upright position having capacity for 12 to 15 rods and tubes. I
was not impressed by the racks at Bass Pro. Cabela's has a radiused
rack that fits in a corner and looks pretty functional though I have
only seen a photo.

Does anyone have this particular rack or something similar that won't
break the bank? I have minimal floor and wall space to spare. Any
ideas would be appreciated.

Look at the fishing rod racks at a few stores. Even Walmart. Make it
circular for less wall space. They make racks and I saw one for display at
I think the Sage booth at the ISE at San Mateo today. Has a board with a
1/2 round cut out and a slanted board at behind and a matching cut out with
the cutout facing out at the top. The butt fits in the bottom cut out and
the slanted board makes it fit tightly to the cutout and the top board keeps
the rod in line.

Does Sage sell these racks? Maybe I could call and find out who their
fixture manufacturer is.

I've seen a couple of different ones in recent Cabela's catalogs.
Actually, it looks like they would be fairly easy to make with just
basic woodworking equipment.

I do not think so, but were in the factory display at the show of rods. Ask
at any show who makes their rack or take a couple pics and go to a cabinet
maker.

Got this corner rack. Works great. Going to get another to put in
the other corner ('cause the first one is full).

Yeah, I got the corner rack with the OS radius form Cabela's. Solid
oak, simple, functional, good quality and reasonably priced. The
Cabela's north of Fort Worth was great. Beautiful rainbow and golden
trout in their pond. Only had a few minutes to shop. Will plan a half
day next time I go. Got some deals in the "Cave" too and a bunch of
Mustads on sale for under $6 buck per 100. Hook count approaching
beyond my counting ability.....(no smart remarks!)

Just went to the Denver Fly show, not much in the way of tying
materials but there was one shop selling all materials at 50% off.
Got about 60 bucks worth (at the discount price) of hooks. Now I just
have to sort 'em and put them in the appropriately labeled hook boxes.
Hmm, single malt and hook sorting. Sounds like a good Winter evening
task.

........start with the smallest sizes first. After a few single malts,
sorting could get more challengingg

Guy - a cheap and even green solution is to go to a garage sale and
repurpose a wine rack. One that's designed for a case of 12 bottles
will fit 48 standard Al rod tubes, presumably with rods inside. Some
of my wooden racks have extra leftover cubbies and one will fit 60
tubes. I turn the racks on the side so that the tubes are vertical,
and the footprint is only 4 sqft. The square racks can fit right into
the corner of a room, although the rack will just out.

Very cool solution as wine is only one step removed from vinegar and
not to be taken internally. Gotta do something with those wine racks
people have given me as gifts over the years. Thanks.

you could bring excess wine racks to Penn's, as a certain Clave Host is
running out of room in the two that take up space in the tying room.....g

Well, if you had a 600 square foot tying room like I do, you wouldn't
have that problem.

Thanks! Great idea. I will keep an eye out for a rack. I will need
another one soon. Can't seem to stop this incessant fly rod building
habit. Next will be a cane rod.
