Have a 17x54 extreme haul and tired of breaking rods and not paying $550 for a rod box. Does anyone have any ideas or pictures of some nice rod holders to get them off the floor of the boat? |

Weld a piece of flat bar to the side of the boat that's drilled and tapped, then mount a regular old rod holder like you'd use in a bass boat. |

I know this doesn't apply to what you want, but I'll throw this in for whoever may be interested. I have a u-shaped grab bar so I made this out of PVC pipe, aluminum flatbar, and SS bolts. The middle pipe is to hold a small cajun anchor. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1430948596.725424.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1430948613.091525.jpg |

I am also interested if someone has come up with something really good and innovative. I have the flatbar idea on the port side but my homemade push pole and spud pole are held. On the starboard side I have a switch panel made into my grab bar so space is limited. |

The custom marine rigging shop that does all the work on my two boats used some kind of special epoxy to attach bolts on the side of my boat; I can ask him what he used. All I know is that the epoxy is stronger than the aluminum it's stuck to. You can see my rod holders in this thread; I use them for fishing rods, my marsh flag (Florida law), and my Cajun anchors. I can get four rods on each side of the boat. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=61585 It looks like there are bolts through my hull, but there aren't. |

west marine sells these DU-BRO rod holders too. The ones I have are on a track, so they are adjustable. http://www.amazon.com/DU-BRO-Fishing-Ro ... rod+holder |
