fishing rod storage
Sep 19th, 2017 at 1:49am
 
I own a truck and I'm looking for ideas on how to store my fishing rods and other equipment. I saw the Du-HA storage units that can be put underneath the backseat. These truck accessories are designed for storing tools, hunting gear and fishing equipment. Does anyone have one? Is it made of hard plastic?

I have a pickup, and I built a wooden deck in the back.  It's made of two 2x12's running the long way, with a section of shorter 2x12 across the end by the cab, with plywood on top.  Underneath, about 4" from the far left is a 1x12 running parallel to the 2x12's.  In that space is a stack of plastic down spouts that hold my musky and spinning rods.  About a foot over from that is another 2x12.  Within the space created by that is a shelf.  On the shelf go two double fly rod tubes of the "reel on" type.  Underneath go pontoon oars.  In the last compartment goes a tool box, bags of flies and other stuff.  When the tailgate is locked, even if someone breaks the windows, they can't get at the stuff underneath.  Other things are stored to the side of the deck, on and in front of and behind the wheel wells.  Big stuff goes on top.  It keeps everything really organized.

I like to just break my fishing rods over my knees until they fit in to my glove box for the ride home.  Waiting for the warranty claim replacements to come in allows me to space out my fishing trips.
