    Default DIY fly rod vehicle rack

    http://www.azbythefly.com/articles/t...cle-rod-holder this site shows you how to build a cheap vehicle rod mount. They retail anywhere from 79 to 149 bucks. I got the glass pullers from harbor freight for 6.99 each and the bungies for 3 bucks and the 1/4 20 hardware for 3 bucks from home depot. The rest I had.

    Sorry- couldn't find anywhere else to put this.

    Thanks for posting.

    My only concern with these has been the communist state we live in called NJ and the possibility of getting ticketed for obstruction of vision.

    You can carry fly rods in a ski rack just load them in backwards.

    My thing is that I usually carry two kayaks on my crossbars so I sold my old ski rack. Too much of a PITA to take them on and off every time.

    I can fit a 1 piece 9' 6" rod inside the SUV easily and my fly rods are all 9'.

    You are so right if they want to bust your balls during a a traffic stop they can hassle you for even having a car air freshener hanging from your rear view mirror! Very creative application rob thanks for sharing.
