Thread: Pier Carts and Other Contraptions

I now have it fixed to hold 12 rods, (2 GRANDSONS) and 8 of them are in a straight line, so I've added two 36 inch dowel rods with eye bolts and Locks at each end to attempt to stop some one from casually walking by and taking a rod and reel, or taking them outa the back of the truck if I stop at a store for a few minutes.



Its possible to lift the wooden rods enuff to get the rods outa the pvc pipes and take all 8 at a time.... BUT.... he would have to have balls to walk off with that arm full, and brains to have thought of doing that way.... BUT I have it tied down with 40# seven strand for now. Any other ideas... a bike cable lock would work also. May add that for going into the store on the way to the pier.

there might be just enough room for someone to lift the rod high enough to take just the reel....I had made some holders that the reel was down in the pvc with a twist lock action for bank fishing that locked the rod and reel in the pvc....I will try and find one to show a picture....

I have seen other rod holders made that way....where there was a slot cut for the reel seat to go down in the pvc so it didn't rotate and stayed in that position....... that way a bar could be closer, so they couldn't get to the reel seat nut and remove the reel....just giving an idea

Thanks IronMan, yep I was looking for ideas. This will allow quick stops at a store or when going to take a nature break at the pier.

kind of like these....maybe even a little deeper.....but with your bar over top almost imposable to get to the reel nut to remove the reel
