I want to make something for my rods so they don't get messed up in the bed and I am eventually going to get a hard cover for bed so I don't know where to mount

here is what i WOULD do and ive thought about this many times lol the bedrails offer alot of protection from unforsee circumstances haha and if you will have a cover thats fine

so id mount these under the bedrail, a eye hook (or j hook) that will fit the tip and then a u bolt to hold the butt of the pole. that should be all it takes because it wont move forward or backward.

you can also do something like a foam mount similar to what i just described

I would need to keep the tailgate down right

only if your pole is longer than 6 feet.... if they are longer, you can get the bed cover and mount them diagonally corner to corner, might be able to get a 7 foot rod in there

Sounds like it from what he described. The other option is use something like what we do for our spey rods up in BC. These work pretty good. Just watch out for low hanging trees

I might try something out

i never understand why they are not mounted on the sides of the car (if no one is on the pass side)

but yeah you can definitely do that too

----------

you can also mount it to the top of the bedrails and not have to worry too much about length

Some of the speyrods we use up north are 14-16'. My go to rod is 13'4" ... that's a little far back from the bed to have a rod hanging haha! Especially if it's an $800 rod!!!

Shit I'd say haha I have a couple cheap rods then a gander $80 rod

something else you could do, you would have to modify it to fit your own needs because mine was made for a bike lol but you can have something holding the butt at the end of the bed at the cab and then a "rack system" like i made for my bikes....im sure something like that would work as well


remember, this is for bikes lol
