Rod Holders for Bass Boat

[BigBee97]

I was trying to find a way to temporarily rig some rod holders on my Bumble Bee without drilling a bunch of holes in my boat. I am going shiner fishing in Florida in a couple of weeks and wanted to find some type of rod holder I could use. I usually put out two rods in front and two in back. Does anyone know of anything? I thought they might make something that clamps on to the seat pedestal. Any ideas? Thanks.

Not a lot of options! i replaced the cleats front and rear with 16" rails,
added rail mount " Fish On " rod holders. Did have to drill an extra 5/16
hole for each rail. i use this set-up for striper. Hope this helps.

bass pro makes one that fits around your pedastals under the seat and clamps on with worm clamp think they hold 2-4 rods each might look in the cat and see pic of them cant remember who made them

did a search and found the web site www.goodluckfishing.com they had one that looked like it holds up to six rods at a time and slips over your pedestal. hope this helps. Taylor

You can do wonders with plastic cutting boards and holesaws...

I appreciate the information everyone. Thanks.

Fuzzy - What do you do with the cutting boards??

 

[Fuzzy]

Trace patterns and cut them out. My last boat I, used the cutting boards and golf tubes for rod lockers. A rotozip makes a nice clean cut and they sand real well after words. Most plastic glues bond to them also, and they are relatively cheap...

I think he wants rod holders to fish out of not for the rod locker. Does your boat have any rails on it at all? If you have rails they make driftmasters that have a clamp on base to go on rails, or a really cheap is to use pvc around the seat post. I will see if I can find a picture for you.

Foodsaver - My boat does not have any rails on it. How do you make PVC holders to go on your seat pedestal?
