This rod rack was left to me by an old fishing buddy when he passed away.  He was a wood worker and built it himself.  It always sat just inside the door of the cabin at the lake.

 

The noches where the rod sits have foam in them to keep the rod in place.  It's about shot.  I'm in need of some ideas on what to replace it with or what to do to make it work.

 

Thanks

Clean everything up and replace it with felt 

Another possible is some foam weatherstripping - padding with enough thickness to grip the rod-shafts.

Unless it is going to be a furniture piece in your man cave I wouldn't bother to clean it up.   Go to a fabric store or a hobby store like Michaels or Hobby Lobby, get some felt and a hot clue gun.  Felt come in different thicknesses.  Probably have to experiment to get the correct thickness of felt.

Looking at the design, is it a rod only rack or a rack for rod & reel combos?  Picture looks like it is catching the rod right where the reel would hang.  Are the rods supposed to go inside or outside the brace?  Anyway, looks to me like it would be a rod only rack.

Option B might be to screw little eye rings into the supports, at the level of the notches and use a small bungee to keep the rods upright.   I guess it depends on ho you're going to use it and how often you'll be pulling rods out or putting rods in the rack.

I'm one to talk, rod storage in my fishing shed it a mess, on my list to improve this winter, no clue as to if it will get done or not.

Rod goes inside brace.  I may or may not have reels on it.  Might end up being just extra rods that doesn't get used all the time. You can see part of my arsenal on the left hand side.  Extra unused in the tubes on the floor.  Just looking to clean up the living room/man cave in the basement a bit.
