Fishing rod holders

[Psignore00]

Thought I’d share this mod I found and pieced together. A couple notes to share…you will have to slightly ream the hole on the mount with a 3/8 drill bit so it fits the m10 bolt. And the knob you see in the picture wasn’t tight enough to hold them upright, so I went back to the regular nut included with the bolt.

This will fit most reels that are a 4000 size or smaller. I had to wiggle the 4000 size to get it to lock in, but the 3000 size went in much easier. I don’t use 5000 size, but 6000 was just too big

The mount also includes an adapter and u-bolts that allow it to be mounted on your ladder.

I made these for my fly rods from 1 1/2” pvc pipe with a couple of end caps and couplings, some bungees, electrical wire and duct tape. They are working great for me and I had thought of them 30 years ago but finally got around to making them.
