wisconsin heat Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 Has anyone seen or used KastKing's newest rod rack? Seems like a great idea to me, a good solution to storing rods inside. I'd like to see how it looks full of combos and if it can store rods with rod sleeves on. I have one of kast Kings aluminum floor rod racks and I really like it - but I may be getting one (or two) of these in the future if they work well and as intended. 1 Quote
ike8120 Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 Yes from a facebook post it can store rods with sleeves. 1 Quote
Super User FishTank Posted February 12, 2020 Super User Posted February 12, 2020 Not big on their reels but this looks like a pretty good idea. I have rod rock in my garage and that is always the issue..... You can't store two rods next to each other, therefore a rod holder with 12 spots only holds 6. 1 Quote

Same here, the floor rack I have fits 22 rods I think, but you'll only get a little over 12 combos and that's if you place them in strategicly. Quote
5/0 Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 I wrestled with rig set up and settled on a peg board system. An 8’x 4’ peg board with 8” to 12” shelf hangers (Amazon). You can put 2-3 rigs on each row. I built a shelf underneath the peg board that I put plastic storage containers with baits and tackle on. Below the shelf there is still room for other items if more space is needed. 2 Quote
Bandersnatch Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 What happens when your $900 combo slides out over time? I'm assuming there is nothing supporting the butt end of the rod. I'd think at some point slipping could happen? 1 Quote

I would never suspend a $900 combo from any rack with out bottom support. 1 Quote

Kind of like parking your Maserati on the street If I had a $900 combo it would be stored in the bed in my spare bedroom. Quote
gilkeybr Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 Looks great for storing rods, but not great for storing combos! I built this rack out of plywood. Cost ~$40 including the stain/polyurethane. Was very satisfied with it...until I got too many combos to fit. Working on a replacement now that is 6ft long instead of 4ft! 1 Quote

You should patent it! Quote
rcjoutdoors Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 Combo storage is a big issue for me and something that needs to be addressed in the next round of presidential campaigns ? Quote

On the streets, and it could easily be broken into in seconds. The person must have enough cash to not worry about it... at all. Hats off! 1 Quote
