How To Build a T-Bar Rod Rack for Catfishing - No Welding Required

[@joemccleary8232]

Sweet just got done with mine. Can't wait to try em out.

[@TeamSnagginWhiskers]

I love that. I at try to find a way to put this on my No-weld rod rack.

[@madtownangler]

Great idea. I am the king of breaking taps at work.

[@TheWeekendAngler]

I figured the likelihood of breaking a tap in a $2 plug was next to nil. If I'm going to break off a tap it will be in something that cost me a lot of money. Lol.

[@madtownangler]

@@TheWeekendAngler yeah thats some pretty soft metal.

[@MrKrazykris26]

I just built 2 and the cost was a a lot more than $25 , $180 (thanks Brandon) for 2 built the same way with the exception of the 12" vertical pipe I went with a 30" so the rods hit you in the stomach when you stand on the back deck vs the shins. I was afraid that I would have a guest bend over to grab a rod and they fall over. My only complaint was the small base. I will look to see if I can find a bigger plate.

Got all the parts and have the first one about done. I ordered a drill bit and tap through Lowes. The drill ate the first cap like candy....almost through the 2nd one and boom, wouldn't cut no more. Waiting on a drill bit sharpener to get up and running again. Crazy Great idea!!

[@TheWeekendAngler]

Yeah it could be a little rough on drill bits. The Cobalt drill bits do good but they cost quite a bit more

[@TerryClark-q6q]

The male pipe plugs I got are solid top to bottom where yours are hollow on the thread side. But I'm getten er done and loving it!

[@TheWeekendAngler]

@@TerryClark-q6qyours, though tougher to drill and tap, will be able to withstand a higher load than mine. They'll basically be bulletproof. Great work!

[@TerryClark-q6q]

Oh man...Love it!!! ♥ Thank You!!

[@dalehayslip5008]

Great idea 💡 lot cheaper than $500.00 Dollars for sure

[@TheWeekendAngler]

Definitely. Now don't get me wrong, I love my MulTbar setup, though.

[@faronmastin8683]

Nice good Idea thanks for the video.

[@ClearviewOutdoors]

Great build Josh!

[@BrokeBackBob4559]

Nice work. Only problem I have with it is I don’t like the size of the small base plate. I’d prefer a base twice the size to distribute the strength of the base more

[@2StansFishing]

Awesome job Josh! I love it! ✌️

[@FieldstoWater]

That's freaking awesome dude

[@CatfishWeekly]

Very nice tee bar set Josh!!!

[@TheWeekendAngler]

[@chucky3742]

Good Job buddy

[@TheWeekendAngler]

Thanks Chucky!

[@trevorcothran3273]

Can u show them on his boat I think that is a great idea I’m going to build two for my boat

[@TheWeekendAngler]

As soon as we get them put on his boat I will. I finished this project in the fall and he put his boat in storage for the season

[@guyandottewhiskers2331]

I’m not sure what hardware store you shop at but that cost around 40$ at a normal hardware store not to mention lowes or Home Depot I’d rather bu them already made that’s cool tho

[@TheWeekendAngler]

Those were prices at Menards. It probably depends a lot on where you live. I'm in the extreme Southern part of Illinois. I was out in Denver, CO earlier this year and prices on everything were absolutely ridiculous. I bought a set of MulTbar Rod racks for my boat. To me, they're worth every penny. These were made for a buddy who didn't want to spend a ton of money, and I know a lot of others don't either.

[@flippindocks8183]

No welding required - just a workshop FULL of everything else.

[@TheWeekendAngler]

Can all be done with hand tools. If you don't own any tools, DIY videos probably aren't for you.

[@davidhefner5668]

Hillbilly rig....

[@TheWeekendAngler]

Of course. You wouldn't see a city boy actually doing anything useful.

[@claudeloi]

Way too expensive and too much trouble to built. I can get fairly cheap rod holder for less and no trouble building.
