Truck bed rod holder

Bad idea.

This. Lay them down and protect them. I made some rod holders for my truck back in HS. Went thru a BK drive thru and - whack. And if you do decide to do this, never leave your line/lure attached. Cut your lure and wind up.

Something like this might work. Why do you have to stack the yaks? Can't you put them side by side?

The main thing is to make the angle shallow enough that the rods don't stick much above the cab of your truck.

Or something like this:

I know a lot of people that fish a helluva lot. And I know people that fish 2 weekends a year.

You know who has truck rod holders? The 2 weeks a year guys

I pretty much always have 3 rods in my passenger seat. No need for 3 rod holders in the bed

problem with this idea is that they are still subject to getting wacked by a sliding ice chest. i found this out the hard way

Here's mine that I just sold yesterday. I guess I'm a twice a year guy.

The rod holder on the side is a good idea. Haven't seen that picture. We ve been putting the rods in the cab but the rattling and general aggravation of having 6-8 rods in front of your face for hour or 2 long ride just sucks.

The PVC ones look simple and cheap and sturdy enough to get it done but after all these negative qualities I may be passing on it altogether.
I am one of the types that doesn't get to fish much 4-6 times a month, so while working I enjoy thinking about fishing an hunting gear to make trips easier/more enjoyable

I'd forget my rod beside my truck and run over it.

I use it in that position more when I am rigging multiple rods. It is also good to bring inside when your done for the day and then you have a rod holder ready to go in the cabin/hotel room or wherever you are.
