Fishing Pole Storage

[bellis]

Been needing a better place to store fishing poles for a long time. I bought a 4 pole holder I think from Cabelas and was looking for the best place to install. Candidates were under the bottom bunk bed and the passthrough. The passthrough won. I took and cut some 5/8" plywood to fit so that the mounting surface would be lower, otherwise the pokes would bend and hit the aluminum supports on the roof of the passthrough. I did not extend the plywood down flush because the mounts extended the center of the pole storage down on their own. I left it recessed in between the aluminum and but the plywood larger than I needed in case I needed additional recessed mounting surface for other projects/ideas. Here are a few pictures.

Very pleased with how it turned out. On the end of the pole side, I ended up taping a little bit of paracord 550 via electric tape to one of the aluminum supports from the ceiling to prevent contact with the rod and insulate it a bit.

Nice install - I need to do something like that to. Right now I have metal shelving in the front bay and use bungy cords to hold them in place as the lay on top. Now for the important question. I have never seen using pull string bags around the reels. May I ask where you got them? They looked like they are shaped for the reel handle too.

Thanks

They were. I think I got these from Cabelas or Bass Pro Shop. I might be these:

I bought both so long ago....this might be the holder or at least similiar.

In the above link it does not look like the handle would go in...they may have updated the product since I bought it. I have had it for a couple of years, just waiting to climb the upgrade list.

Nice install. I suggest you add some way to bungee the rods in the front holder to ensure they do not bounce out in travel.

The para cord is a nice touch. Did you consider pipe insulation and a couple of screws and washers?

That's not a bad thought. I will have to look at that. Only 1 trip with it installed so far. I do have some pipe insulation on hand....just did not have it with me at the time of wrapping up install.
