I trying to figure out a way to attach it without scratching up too badly.
Pvc rod tube roof rack.
Fishing rods can measure to as long as 8 ft and private vehicles are not typically suited for storing such fishing rods.
It s a good thing that sound roof rack fishing rod holders are available in the market.
Apart from roof rack fishing rod holders you can also opt for hitch mount types that you can attach at the back of your vehicle.
With the extra length i can put four more reels in backwards for a snug total of eight.
Lastly i had considered making a rod holder using outdoor rated wood and hardware.
I used 8 1 2 of the 10 pvc pipe.
To build this rod holder you ll need a ten foot piece of 2 inch diameter schedule 40 pvc pipe that will serve as the outer shell though you can easily make a longer version for switch spey or euro nymphing rods by adding another piece of pipe using a coupler.
I have done this with 4 and 6 schedule 40 tubes and transported rods this way to nc and florida many times no issues.
How do you attach your pvc diy rod carriers to your roof rack.
