Nice rod locker. I see I am not the only one using some round reels.

Now that is just showing off?!!  Nice!!

[Way north bass guy]

Similar to A-Jays, but I had to remove my 8 crappy little tubes to get my rods in. So much nicer with the extra space to have em all in there. 

[S Hovanec]

My bottom row is useless.  It only holds rods up to 6'6".  Top row says up to 7', but I can get 7'2" in the two middle tubes.

Here you go - -

[ajschn06]

Mine only holds 5 :( and I had to convert everything to less than 7'....

[TnRiver46]

What's a rod locker??? Mine are in a pile on the left side of the center console haha

[FryDog62]

Here’s the Full Monty - all the storage in the Lund PVB is the reason I have a hard time considering any other boat!  

[gim]

Frydog with all that gear, a tough decision has to present itself when you fish in someone else’s boat: what rod n reels and what boxes of tackle do you take? So many decisions and you can’t take it all!  ?

I always offer my boat or theirs.  I’ve been known to open up my tackle bins for anything they want to use... haven’t fished in anyone else’s boat in 3+ years !!

What it usually looks like...I typically don't pack every single rod and piece of tackle into the boat, but it would all fit if I wanted to .

Jealous of those PVB rod lockers.  Here's a lowly Mr Pike locker.

2 custom St Croix SCVs, a Rainshadow Eternity and a MHX HiMod 

[Skunked again]

 

 

1987 Skeeter Strada F120. No clue as to how many it will hold, not much i'm guessing. Then again, for years I've always had 8 on the deck, would only use 2 or 3 all day.

I cut the headwall out, could probably put a 9'er in there!

A-Jay A-Jay, am I correct that you have 15 rods in there?  Also wondered it your rod covers are a color code for something?

It's hard to tell but the bottom row and some of the middle row are doubled up,  so there's like 22 in that pic give or take. 

Casting rigs double up easy.

Spinning rigs take up more space.  And yes there is a color code deal going on in there with the rod sleeves.   Makes it easier in the heat of battle to grab what I think I need.

A-Jay Aha, so old Army guys do think like the Coast Guard

You guys with your big center rod lockers think you're so cool.  Unfortunately mine is off to the side and its half the size because my boat isn't big enough.  I can hold 7 plus 3 on the deck for a total of 10.  And I keep an oar tucked down in there just in case I get beached.  I can positively say that my next boat will have a bigger center rod locker.

Is that a rod holder I see on the corner of the camo console?  Could you mount horizontal rod holders on the wall?  Many years ago we had a small 16 foot aluminum boat and rod storage was always an issue so we mounted some on the side and that helped.

The vertical rod holders guarantee a broken rod as well as a hook in your thigh when you walk by them. I did have rod holders on the sides years ago but it was also a nightmare, I had to climb down from the casting deck every time I wanted a different rod .

Took a while but yesterday I competed a total Re-Rig ~ 

New main lines & leaders where needed, and some of them definitely needed. 

After sliding them back into the Lund I realized I had set a new personal best at 28. 

 

I may have a problem.

How do you decide which one to use - I have issues making that decision with only 12 rigs.

 

d**n, Andy...you're making me jealous again.
