New FC4 Rod Rack

[SHigSpeed]

[quote Illinoisgiller]I am impressed with this rod holder. It solves a couple issues I've been wanting to deal with. I like the single bottom support. (I think I do lol )
I also like your method for hooking up to the "D" rings.
I would doubt that I would lean it out quite as far but that is not a problem.
Thank you for posting this. Would there be a chance of a picture of it empty? I would be setting it up for spinning rods.[/quote]

Thanks for the comments. I lean it out for two reasons. 1: For fly casting with a cross-wind it helps keep the extra rods from getting tangled up. 2: For a crosswind in the other direction it keeps the rods from rocking over the top of me. Of course a tether to a bottom D-Ring would fix this, but that's one more connection I have to make right?

Here's a pic of a rod tube empty:



It'd be easy enough to make the black section longer to suit, or use a cross section of PVC instead of a tee so the butt can go through the bottom.

Also, here's a close-up of the groove-pin setup:



I WILL be ordering some of those safety hitch pins to replace these (however snug and suitable IMHO) plastic pins.
