MuffinMan Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 I am looking to build a rod quiver I can fit in one hand to carry around 4 setups for bank fishing, any suggestions on how to build one of these? pics or videos will be greatly appreciated Quote
DaveT63 Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 I once saw a guy carrying 8 combos with him on a piece of plywood. He cut it with a carry handle at the top, and mounted a set of Berkley horizontal rod holders to each side. Carried it around almost like a briefcase. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 I've got an awsome canvas one my got me from one those gift catalogs she gets. It holds 5 combos in sheaths on the outside plus has a deep duffle type compartment. I'll ask her again where she got it. Quote

Delaware Valley Tackle Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Yup, almost Identical. Mine was real cheap like $10 plus shipping. I think it was Lands End but she's not here to confirm. Quote

ChiCityBasser Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 The Lakeside Collection has them for $10.95. I can't load the pic but very similar to the one posted by "endless". http://www.lakeside.com/Toys-%2B-Sports/Sports%2B%252B%2BOutdoor/Fishing-Rod-Case/prod320425.jmp?navAction=push&fm=leftnav&categoryId=cat52224&navCount=0 Quote

Surpisingly well crafted for such a low price. They sold out quick and were on backorder for a while last year. Quote
Super User islandbass Posted August 22, 2011 Super User Posted August 22, 2011 I've made one, designed to hold three but the shape chosen can be made to hold just about any number of rods. Ex: a triangle shape could hold three, a trapezoid could hold four or five, etc. The canvas one in the pics above is really nice IMHO, but if indeed you are driven to build one, by all means proceed. It's price is very tough to beat. That is about the cost of making mine. A gent on another forum improved on my design and if I were to ever make another one, I would adopt his change. Mine is basic and no frills, and while there is room for improvement in its design,it really does its job. It can stand alone on level ground or prop it up on your bag or a bench and your rigs will never touch the ground to get either dirty or scratched up. Quote

endless Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Thinking about the for $10.95 might just have to order me one for when I go to this one pond. IslandBass- I told MuffinMan to PM about yours and how you made one. You just carry yours by the dowel? 1 Quote
Super User islandbass Posted August 23, 2011 Super User Posted August 23, 2011 Thinking about the for $10.95 might just have to order me one for when I go to this one pond. IslandBass- I told MuffinMan to PM about yours and how you made one. You just carry yours by the dowel? Yes. I hold it by the middle dowel and somewhere between parallel to the earth and about 45 degrees up. Gravity holds the rods down. I love it when I make gravity work for me vs. the other way around. I agree on the price and would also buy it if I needed it. It is however, just a few too many rods than I need when I fish. Four is my limit from the shore as I fish. I've taken more and have come to learn that in effect, only 2-3 of the rods are used most of the time and others didn't even get used. Muffin man is more than welcome to send me a pm. Thanks! Quote
breezy Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 I put each rod in a mesh rod sock and then take a velcro strap and bind them all together. Do this when I'm a coangler and it makes carrying your rods much easier. If you're looking for something to use just to get to your spot this may work but if you'll be covering a big distance while fishing and using multiple rods it may be more hassle than it's worth.

I'm thinking about ordering it but not sure why price is so cheap? If anyone ever did order from them was there any catch and how long takes for shipping? DVT how long you had yours and any problems through the site or catalog? Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I've used mine all last year and this year and it's held up raelly well. My wife orders regularly with no problems other than occasional back orders. You just decide to either wait or take a refund. I just talked to her and it was at Lakeside that she got mine. If they're in stock shipping is usually quick. Like I said, don't let the price scare you, these things are well built. Finally something of value for your buck! You could order 10 and sell them at $20 a piece and that's still a deal imo. Quote

How is thew tackle pockets? enough to put few tackle like, spinners, cranks, chatters, hooks, and maybe couple of pack of worms? Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 The side pocket is good sized. I've put a small tupperware type box in it with odd stuff. Quote
