How To Make A Fishing Rod Rack: DIY Rod Rack

This video was made to show you how I made my own custom fishing rod rack due to the lack of decorative options out there. There are no fishing rod racks for sale that I could find that were nice enough to put inside my home. A fishing rod rack shouldn't have to be kept in the garage due to it being too ugly for the house. This fishing rod rack isn't difficult to build and you will receive many compliments as I have. The wood carved fish really makes the rod rack stand above all others. Thank you for watching the video and subscribing to my channel. Below is the material list for the diy fishing rod rack build. Good luck making your own!
Material List For Rod Rack Build:
(1) 1"x10" pine board- 4ft length (Top Piece)
(2) 1"x10" pine board- 3ft length (Legs)
(2) 2"x4" pine- 20" length (Feet)
(2) 1"x4" pine board- 20" length (Feet)
(2) 1"x4" pine board- 4ft l (Top piece support and lower support)
(1) 1"x6" pine board- 4ft length (Rod butt wedge)
(12) 1"x1" L Brackets (Screws come with these brackets)
(8) 1.5" Wood screws for feet pieces

Attention!!!In the video I mentioned you need a 1"x12" and this was a mistake. Replace that with a 1"x10" for the top piece as listed above!
Video Description-
The video will take you through the process of building this fishing rod rack from scratch. In the beginning you will see some clips of the rod rack when its finished. It will then jump to an explanation of the wood needed for the fishing rod rack followed by some clips of the wood being cut to the sizes listed above. I then explain drilling the holes needed for the fishing rods to fit in the rack and then we are on to assembly. This is when the videos is sped up to prevent the video being extremely long. I talk through this sped up footage to help you understand what's going on. When the fishing rod rack is done being made I go into the process of staining the wood. This is the final step! If there are any questions after you watch the video please comment and I will answer asap!
WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE SAWS TO CUT THE WOOD?
If you don't have the saws needed you can purchase this wood from Lowes and they will cut it for you. Bring this list with you and make sure you're very specific that you need this wood cut EXACT. Otherwise they will just cut it close enough which will throw this fishing rod rack way off.
If you're curious as to what rods and reels I had displayed on my fishing rod rack, there were two Penn Squall 60LD reels, two Penn Spinfisher VI 7500 reels and two Penn Battle 8000 reels. They were on Star rods and Penn rods.

[@ScottBonnerOutdoors]

Thank you! How did it go for you?

[@FairulRonnachai]

@@ScottBonnerOutdoors it worked well mate. all I need to do now is to do some sanding and then apply some coating to my rack. Thanks ✌🏽☺️

[@ScottBonnerOutdoors]

@@FairulRonnachai Awesome!

[@shadowscion]

How sturdy is this? It looks like it's racking side to side just from the force of your stain brushing.

[@ScottBonnerOutdoors]

I don’t have any issues with it being sturdy. It holds the reels perfectly

[@kechot11]

Thanks for the informative video. I think it turned out great. Btw what are your thoughts on the Penn Squall 60LD? I was thinking about getting that reel but wanted to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks

[@ScottBonnerOutdoors]

Thank you. The Squall 60LD is Penns version of the Shimano TLD 25 and it's much better. It holds a little more line and has about 10 lbs more drag. There isn't a better option in that price range

[@melbournebound5150]

Great fishing rack. The link you provided for the carved fish doesn't work.

[@ScottBonnerOutdoors]

Thank you for letting me know I will look into it

[@goofinoffwithezraomar5508]

👍

[@ScottBonnerOutdoors]

Thanks

[@runarndsu1]

I can't seem to find the fish from the link you provided. Do you have a direct seller name?

[@colbykirkland2573]

What would i do if i wanted to make the rod rack double sided? I am looking to put slots 6 inches apart but i need to hold 30 rods. Would i be better off to make two racks that each hold 15 rods?

[@ScottBonnerOutdoors]

You can make it double sided. The feet pieces will be the same just go a little wider on the side and top piece and just like you cut holes and sawed down the center of those holes on the front side do the same on the back side. Good luck

[@jackcarman8207]

So when it’s (2) 2x4s 20 ft is that 40 ft in total? Also does it matter what size they are when you buy them?

[@ScottBonnerOutdoors]

The 2x4 pieces are 20 inches each not feet. I hope that helps

[@jackcarman8207]

@@ScottBonnerOutdoors ok thanks. Had to draw it out was a bit confused at first. But thanks a lot for sharing the vid, it was exactly what I was looking for!

[@lightingbling197]

How do I get the 45 degree angle on the 2x4s?

[@ScottBonnerOutdoors]

Hopefully your miter saw has that option to cut at angles otherwise maybe check with a friend to see if they have one

[@Fulcrum205]

If you don't have a miter saw just use your speed square and your circ saw

[@alibaba1923]

Hi, can you please write the measurements? Thank's

[@ScottBonnerOutdoors]

Hi they are in the video description. Good luck on the build!

[@mariochavez385]

Whats the size and length of the screws

[@ScottBonnerOutdoors]

You will need 8 1.5" wood screws and the L brackets you buy should come with screws. If they don't 1/2" screws should work

[@mariochavez385]

Thanks thats a awsome fishing rack

[@ScottBonnerOutdoors]

Mario Chavez thank you!

[@nathanconsidine970]

I can't find your cut list - there was nothing "below". Help

[@nathanconsidine970]

Found it, sorry

Did you end up building one?
