Home made rod holders

[charlie flanders]

I see where alot of you guys make your own, as i have also. I made some out of PVC pipe that fit in my oar locks. Looking for a new design.

Let's post up some pic's and share our designs. ( i will when i figure how to post a pic)

 

THanks guys

When you figure that out, let me know, too - will you?

Check out some of the catfishing sites, I have seen some good ideas on some of them.

I just saw a neat idea today - a guy had taken a five gallon bucket and cut a 2 X 4 to fit across the opening - he screwed it in with drywall screws and then mounted a couple of those inexpensive clamp on rod holders to the 2 X 4. He puts some weight in the bucket and sits it in the middle of his canoe with one rod holder facing each side - then he "trolls" with his canoe. Pretty effective too - saw him have two trout (stockers) on at the same time and then he caught a couple of nice gils a few minutes later.

Thats pretty good. Ive had the idea of hanging the holders on the outside of the bucket - leaving me room to sit on top.

Ive got one of those bucket "tackle box" seat in mind. Add a rod holder on each side of the bucket, and you're set. Here in South Carolina we have a funny little law that says you can have as many rods as you want in a boat, but only two on the shore.

I have made mine from pvc pipe, hose clamps and cutoff coal mine roof bolts, they work great and cheap too.
