[cool][#0000ff]Most of the rod racks you see posted on the board are ones that hold the rods vertically, or maybe back at an angle. If you have multiple fly rods, and want to keep them safely stored and out of the way, you might want to consider a horizontal frame rack as in the attached pictures.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I came up with this concept several years ago and posted some pics of my different models. Others have since made their own versions. The idea is to have the rods pointing backward, laying flat, but easily accessible while remaining low profile to reduce the chance of catching your flyline while casting.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I originally tried a flat rack...extending out flat from the tube. But, this tended to occasionally dip into the water. Using the 60 degree angle PVC connectors made for a rack that extended slightly up and out. Worked well.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Hopefully this will suggest something you can start with.[/#0000ff]
