You are a fisherman. You highly depend on your fishing equipment to make
a living. But at times, you just feel distraught and disappointed from owning
fishing poles that get tangled and stepped on!
Fishing poles are also distracting and look cluttered if abandoned anywhere. Your children may even play and eventually mess with them!
You need something to contain all those fishing poles safely. You need a fishing pole rack!
We all know these sports racks. From ski racks to golf racks, they are all built to store your beloved sports equipment. But yes, there is such a thing as fishing pole racks that can take care of your fishing poles from any accidents and misfortunes.
So read these guidelines on how to score the best fishing pole rack in town:
1. The fishing pole rack is made up of steel.
Steer clear of fishing pole racks with steel composition but with lousy finish. There are fishing pole racks like the ones provided by ProStor that take pride of their platinum finish.
2. It is made up of wood.
If it's not made of steel, it doesn't mean that it's less durable. If the fishing pole rack is guaranteed made from solid pine, then you've got yourself a nice catch!
Nail it behind your door and you're assured of strength like no other!
3. It must hold a lot of rods.
How many can your fishing pole rack accomodate? There are fishing pole racks that can contain up to four to six rods, positioned vertically or horizontally. Other than rods, these racks can even hold reels.
4. It must be of great quality.
Great quality means superb design. Your fishing pole rack has an added bonus if it comes in different colors!
Great quality means providing you with easy access that you can even mount it at the walls or ceilings!
5. It doesn't need any assembly.
Pity are those fishing pole racks whose assembly takes forever! Hurray for fishing pole racks that need no assembly, only a screwdriver to mount them up or take them down!
6. The fishing pole rack promises no tangles!
Fishing rods are still prone to tangling even if a fishing pole rack is around, so make sure that yours never churn out this headache of a problem!
7. It has enough space for the mounting holes.
The fishing pole rack must have an alloted space of around 16 inches between the next mounting hole to guarantee the appropriate alignment of the studs.
8. It has advanced equipment.
With advanced features like j-hooks and bolts, you are certain that your fishing poles are well-secured!
Now, I won't blame you if you forget about purchasing fishing pole racks
because yes, you can do them yourself! Here are some basic steps on how to make
a fishing pole rack:
1. Gather four woodpieces of 1X4s that are 40 inches long. This will give you about five rods to place in the fishing pole rack.
2. Build the rack such that the one side will be for handles and the other is designated for the ends of the rod. Put the boards together such that one side will be for the wall while the other is made to hold the poles.
3. Prepare the handle-patterns and then drill holes in the fishing rod board using a cutting saw.
4. Attach the boards to the wall through glue and nails. Paint according to your liking. Mount it to the wall and position the shortest fishing pole so you know where you will place the rod end holder.
5. Change the holder to any design you want. A few finishing touch here and there and now you have your own fishing pole rack!
Better news for fishermen on the go: there are fishing pole racks that you can transport from one vehicle to a certain destination. These fishing pole racks are adjusted to any car, truck or SUVs!
So there you have it! Fishing pole racks for fishermen and hobbyists alike!

racks that work just right for you! Here's to more organized fishing poles
and happier fishing rendezvous!
