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.

My question


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.- Hide quoted text -

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.
