After reading Mike’s post about a tenkara rod rack over at Troutrageous!, I just had to drag myself over to Walmart to buy one (actually two). Using my iPhone level app and a cordless drill, I had both racks installed in a corner of my man cave in about 10 minutes.
Of course, these aren’t really “tenkara rod racks”. They’re actually pool cue racks from a company called Sportcraft. At about $9.50 a piece (including the mounting hardware) these make great wall mounted tenkara rod racks to display your tenkara arsenal.
The only problem now is that two racks hold 12 rods and I’ve only got 10 rods. So now, I need to get two more rods!
How do you store/display your tenkara rods?
Nice!
I agree…those two empty spaces need filled!
“So now, I need to get two more rods!”
A good problem to have. Order the two rods you want/need, gift wrap both and put them under the X-Mas tree. Act really surprised when you open each. You can put a card on one saying its from me.
LOL Thom! Good one!
What a simple, elegant idea! I see a Wally World rod rack in my future! Thanks for posting this neat idea!
Great idea!
I like this idea but my rods won’t go in with the EZ Heeper on the rod. Do you leave them on all the time or take them off when nor fishing the rod?
Hi Tom, depends on the rod. I can fit my Iwana in there but not the Ito for example.
