Mullatt Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Hey all, just wondering what you use and maybe make in the way of rod holders in your boat. In mine I have the built in holders in the gunwale, plus a few of those scotty adjustable ones, but was wondering what others might have done in the way of making their own with conduit or similar. Thinking of knocking up a few extras, but not sure the best way to go. Appreciate any comments and pics if you have them too. cheeers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mullatt Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 So no-one has knocked up their own rod holder designs that they wish to share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smasher Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 It might help to post up a couple of pics of the inside of your boat so we can offer you some suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That lazy fisherman is my lazy son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mullatt Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 Thanks for the reply Fab. I have researched online and there are heaps of options, but was just more interested to see what this community had come up with. Someone (and quite often its you ) usually has some great ideas that are worth following. ps like the lazy fisherman, I have a daughter exactly the same, but its funny if she gets a bite....all hell breaks loose lol Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Ranger Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) Fab I thought you were going to say your son was the holder lol Bear Edited November 15, 2017 by Noo2OzFish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddyT Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 If you have a look here i have the traditional plastic pipes for storage at the front of my console but also mounted some horizontal holders above either side pocket , one side is used for gaff/tagpole and the other i keep a couple of light rods in. What you cant see on the sides is-Left side has two split pvc pipes to hold the rod tips and the Right side has the gaff/tag poles held in by two pvc pips right at the back of and above the side pocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mullatt Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 Thanks PaddyT, that looks great. I have a similar but more basic setup on the front of my side console. But I think I will do up something like you have done above your side pockets for storing/carrying small rods. Thanks for the ideas and pics.

PaddyT Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Also if you have a look down the back of my boat I have a PVC pipe mounted as a tool/knife holder, I also have another at the front on the right hand side of the photo, they are both capped and have holes drilled in the cap to let water out. All my pliers , etc are easily reached on both sides of the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big Neil Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I made a few from pvc pipe and fitted them to the forward and aft seats. My tinny is only small so I put everything in these whilst under way and I also use the 2 aft ones for bait fishing rod holders. bn The aft rod holders fitted to some flexible metal and fastened to the aft seat. One allows the rod to point directly behind the boat and the other points the rod towards the port side. This works well and stops the lines from possibly getting tangled... The forward pvc pipe tackle /rod holders... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking from experience, its a pain in the proverbial when you have untangle lines whilst on the water, when you should be fishing. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mullatt Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 Your rod holder/tackle box / seat fisholb looks the goods mate. You wear the same adidas thongs as me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappy's Therapy Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 As far as rod holders I am using Railblazer's very easy to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berleyguts Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 For vertical rod storage in my side console boat, I riveted a sheet of alloy to the front of the console, then riveted a bull bar rod holder to that. I already had a light 4 rod holder on the side but it wouldn’t fit the game rods or those with a bigger butt.
