FLcracker Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 I have a 2007 Triton TR186 that does not have a rod storage system and cant find one anywhere. Does anyone know of one or have a ideas for storage? Quote
Super User cart7t Posted February 19, 2007 Super User Posted February 19, 2007 Many guys that have those rod storage tubes are pulling them out and going with the rod covers. Those tube type rod organizers not only limit the number of rods you can put in your box but have been known to cause guide damage when removing the rods. The rod covers like the ones FiveBassLimit sells as well as the ones at Brads store allow you to cram as many rods in the box as you can and then just reach down and pull the one out you need with absolutely no tangling at all. I used them last year and I'm a believer now. Quote
clipper Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 This is primitive but I cut some 3/4" PVC pipe about 4' long and closed one end with duct tape. I slide one over a rod before it goes in the locker and it keeps the tips from getting tangled. It works fine for baitcasters but doesn't go down all the way on a spinning rod. I haven't seen the rod covers 5Basslimit sells, are they advertised on this site anywhere? Quote
Super User cart7t Posted February 19, 2007 Super User Posted February 19, 2007 This photo is from Brads Ebay store. Hope it's oK. I was going to go with the tubes rod holders as well. Then someone suggested these, FiveBass offered some for sale and I haven't looked back. Quote

Jeff P. Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 I use rod socks also, and I like them alot. I get the ones from Bass Pro Shops, but I'm sure there are other products that do the same function. These are easy to put on and take off without fuss, and they keep the rods separated and protected inside the rod locker. I considered using some type of tubes (like golf club tubes) but I'm afraid I'd end up bending some guides because I know that I don't always pay close enough attention when I'm pulling out/putting in the rods into my rod locker compartment.

mark44 Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 I also use rod socks. They sure make getting rods out easy: no tangles. Quote
