Rt 188 Storage

[Bill Reynolds]

Thank you!

You are welcome - This is a simple idea and easy to implement. It has worked well for me. BTW - The rod rack does not require the storage towers. You could make up a shelf as long as you wanted and attach it to the wall with shelf brackets for less than $20 and store a lot of rods. The hole spacing is 5 1/2 inches in both the lateral and depth directions.

Mr. Bill, you sure have it going on. That's a nice set up. I don't quite follow the rod rack though. Does the rods hang?

yes they hang. There is a slot in the large hole with a small spike at the end. In use you pass the rod up through the big hole and into the slot and hang the rod eye on the small spike. There is a picture and better explanation in a previous post.

After seeing how much Bill has.....


I don't feel so bad now. I'm not the only one. Lol!

This is how I store my tackle and only load into the boat the tackle trays I need for the trip. I store soft plastics in the plastic boxes shown on the right side of the organizer and make up trip boxes for the particular area I am fishing. I split my time about equally between large clear lakes and river and slough backwater and this combined with the time of the year results in about 3 trip boxes that are always loaded with the appropriate plastics. This makes loading for a trip quick and it keeps the boat organized. I hate searching through tackle boxes and bags for lures. You will also notice that I have designed a rod storage system that allows me to store them 3 deep. I can store 24 rods in the short space shown. I used to use the commercially available wall racks but I always ran out of wall before I ran out of rods.

Thats pretty cool.

I bought the tray organizers from BPS in the bait storage container section. They work awesome. Screwed them down to the floor in the center storage. I tightened the screws down just enough to hold them tight, and I made a strap that comes across the top where if I need to I can slide the whole 8 tray organizer out with all my containers still in it and carry them out. 2 of my buddies liked it so much they did it to their Z20 Rangers.
