This is great and exactly what I was looking for and I’m gonna go ahead and build my own today. Thank you very much from San Antonio for a well-done video. Go Cowboys!
These commenters so critical! They haven’t priced rod holders lately and don’t use multiple I don’t guess. Thanks for the ideas man! Love the wine glass idea. I can do this for free with scrap I have.
Hey, the flare IMO helps with putting the rod back into the tube (widen) and it helps prevent handle damage. I have a few cork handles with noticeable damage from the edge of non flare tubes. Can you get away with no flare? Absolutely! But to me, the added effort added provides functionality and cleaner look.
Great job! I have been trying to find some to fit my baitcasters and it looks like yours work great. Do you have 4 black ones you would be interested in selling?
Most Filipinos I know would not have to go to Home Depot to buy anything, they could build a kayak, rod holders and paddles with scraps lying around... ;)
That is awesome! On the others you made, did you make the finger rest notch deeper to allow your bait cast reel to sit flush with the front of the holder? Regardless, what a great idea. Very cool.
Instead of wasting time, effort and energy on the notch and flared ends, why not just use Fernco fittings on the ends, and cut the notch with a razor blade for the reel stem. Theyre made of rubber and easily cuttable. I use Ferncos on all the rod holders of my aluminum cooler rack on my truck. Held up for over 15 years so far. Yes, they cost extra, but they're only like $4-$5 each.
Because its DIY. My time, effort and energy used to make something from my own hands is very rewarding. For around 60 cents each. Why not? Thank you for your feedback.
MOBBIN Outdoors ah. You’re right. I didn’t hear any drive bys in the background. Maybe your next vid could be “does dead hookers make good bait?” Think I got a few spots here. 😆
MOBBIN Outdoors HA! That house party shooting was up the road from me. Couple weeks before that cops smoked dude at foodmax. I think media down plays it. Not to long ago I left here and saw cops beating the f## out of the crazy East Indian guy. I was contemplating carrying while fishing the canal here due to the “camps”. Sac is becoming Stockton 2.0 slowly.
Looks pretty good, well done.With tube style rod holders being pretty cheap and factoring in electricity and time it takes, this is really not worth the effort.
Why do Americans need to say "i'm gonna go ahead..." all the time! ?!? The sentences would mean exactly the same if they didnt say it. Except, it would take less time!!!
Or, you could just pay a few bucks and go to the store and buy some rod holders that are already professionally manufactured by a fishing rod holder company.
