I do not have the confidence to store my rods because I can find a rod tip on a dark football field and it is me and the rod!

Might not work out for me though, as I travel with my rods each week, so I tube them. = ) But, in your case, they could be strung up and ready to go...

If I travel I will tube the fly rod otherwise they stay on the wall for easy access.

I like the free spool retrieve, along with the quality you get with GLoomis. GLoomis discontinued the reel a couple of years ago, really a shame, fantastic reel. I own 3 of them.

I tend to agree with Howard. I try to tube my rods during transportation just because I would never forgive myself if something bad happened that I could have prevented. On the other hand, if you have the tools and the creative mind and skills to do something that is personal, that is great too!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15787242134608887555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8518971929369280752.post-5918682815031341842013-10-12T12:08:52.950-04:002013-10-12T12:08:52.950-04:00Nice idea Bill.

I bought a corner rod rack that sits on the floor from Cabelas a few years ago and really like it since I don't have wall space. By the way, everything I build turns out being an ashtray.cofisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12288930899340581141noreply@blogger.com
