I've looked at several of these plans and I like yours the best. I have a roof rack on my Taco for the kayak and want to mount the tube up top. I often tow a trailer up to the mountains for fishing trips.
When I saw the $400 rod vaults for sale, I immediately thought of making one out of PVC. Rule of the internet #37: "Anything you can think of, someone has already posted a video about it".
Thanks!
I did something similar, but I drilled several holes in the pipe to allow the rods to dry. I've cleaned my rods and put them in the case wet and by the time I got home, the handles had molded. It's more humid where I live though. If put holes in the pipe, it allowed the rods to dry to keep them from molding. I've also used sewer line / irrigation pipe that already had holes in it.
Y'all need to go to a specialty irrigation supply warehouse for 6 in + PVC. I like how you strapped it to the bed! I have a telescoping Plano rod tube and was just perusing to see how people secure them to their trucks. This is the best idea I've seen so far!
Tip for cutting clean cut on drainage pipe is large cable tie pulled tight use that as a guide. Great video mate 👍
This video was way more info than I expected, pretty cool.
Great pole holder for freshwater / small game poles!
I like your design better than others I've seen
Can’t wait to build this. I even drive a Tacoma so now I know how to even store it in my truck when on the road🤙
Awesome!!!! I have one that my dad made about the same way for when we went to Florida!!! They work great, and if you have too many rods it does not cost $60 for another!!! I like the idea of a lock, as one of my friends got up to his camp a few hours ago to find $4,000 in fishing gear stolen!!! I was going to go up to fish with him, but I decided to go up to the allagash to fish for the 20 inch brook trout in the brooks feeding into the lakes!!!
Nice Job, thinking of making one to My Yamarin 410 boat
Nice job. I bought one 20 years ago from Plano.
Wow you take a lot of gear with you on that small kayak
That came out pretty sweet.
Very good idea, nice result
Just what I was looking for. Needed somewhere to lock my poles under my skoolie conversion!
Awesome man!
Awesome idea buddy!! Going to do this my self. Thank you for sharing!
nice how many rods you fit in there
Everything I ever made as a kid was off the floor lol 👍good vid br
Hey Man What kind of kayak is in the video? Love how you have it rigged also!!!!
@Scott Barnett - It’s an Old Town Predator 👍🏻
I like this design, I think I'll do this but I would like to mount it on a roof rack.
Great idea and video!
Awesome video
Awesome idea I been thinking to do one cool 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hey buddy, might want a lil bit of threadlocker on those wing nuts, they will vibrate off. Just an idea maybe they won't. I was wondering how you were gonna set that lock up, good idea!
Cody C didn't need thread lock. The wingnuts were scraping the plastic all the way on. By the time they got all the way in I was using pliers to turn them. Lol
Nice work , thank you
What is the brand/series of the longest rod you showed?
Did u sand the pipe before u paint it?
Nope
Would have been easier to get two end caps and put a handle on one to remove the lid and access rods. You can sand the outside of rod tube to make it semi loose to take off easily. Save weight too. Or you could have added padding to the screw cap and make it fit on end of rod tube. add a handle again.
Looking up other DIY inspiration for my rod storage while driving around in my truck. I went to Unity college and you look really familiar.
Paul Dapkus hey Paul. Yeah I had a few classes with you haha
I thought so but didn't want to sound like an idiot. Mostly do salt water from shore so 8 and 10 footers or micro fishing inland and I have a Ram 1500 with the just under 6 foot bed. Hope things are going well. Trying to get a body cam to film hunting and fishing soon. Subbed
Very nice but lock only stops the honest thief ! They’ll cut lock or cut the end of the pipe. Both in less than 10 seconds. Still a nice rod holder though to protect rods! Good job !
You should see my new one
How to order
Where did you put your transducer For your fish finder
Bruce Lockhart I have a video of the install in my vids
Cool idea.... New Sub here. I got a new Outback and will be filming my Yak Fishing as well.
How's the bed liner holding up ?
You a Colby alumni?
ZDG nope! Just have a shirt from a friend
Next time just use a heat gun to shape the coupler.
Try heating the cap rather than grinding
Hacksaw corner where padlock then its gone!!
Yeah but now you can't close your tailgate!
Windy Knot I can’t anyway with my 13 ft kayak in the back.
Maine Trout Whisperer yeah but when you don’t have the kayak in the back you still can’t close the tailgate.
why not get 2 piece rods and save all the work?
You don't fish much do you?
Good idea but wouldn't take long to steal
Just buy a Plano Airliner
Cut the back part off with hack saw. 20 to 30 seconds. Buy buy poles.
Bill Peirce because everyone has one of those in their back pockets...
Same could be said if I left them in my truck. Just break the window. If someone wants them that bad.. they will get them. It’s just a device to protect the rods in transport and to slow down a thief
Yeah and take a risks of cutting what your stealing, if a theif wants it they will eventually get it or die trying however for those of us traveling it's nice to put them in this rather than stopping for gas and running inside, comes out to find $100s of rods missing so it's a deteriance to stealing!
That threaded bar looks shit mate should have sprayed it black.
