Fishing rod rack

Nice rack. Any idea on approximate overall size? And what size holes did you use on the bottom piece?

Nice rack. Beautiful finish. This is a project Ive been putting off till a rainy day. I build custom rods and most of the time I have them stacked in a corner of my wrapping room. Thanks for posting!

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the kind words. It’s kind of funny, but this is the second one that I have built like this. I built the first one seven or eight years ago as my first woodworking project. I had no interest in woodworking at the time but I did a lot of fishing. I wanted a rod rack and when I saw how much they cost at Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s I thought “I could build one cheaper than that.” Wrong! Welll, actually the materials cost is cheaper, but by the time you buy stuff like a tablesaw, bandsaw, handplanes, etc. you begin to realize that you have a problem.

Hey Pete, it is all out of 1/2 inch stock 22 3/4 inches long. The holes are 1 1/4” which is about perfect for the handles of regular spinning rods and long handled baitcasting rods. The contoured handles of a Zebco 33 type rod will not fit, nor will my saltwater spinning rod.

“Gone Fishing”. Great rod rack and since it’s empty, you must be at the lake! LOL
