DIY Fishing Rod Holder
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Last season I bought a vintage Mad River Canoe for trips. It became obvious pretty quickly I needed to add some things. Mainly a fishing rod holder. I made this DIY PVC Rod Holder and hit it with my own little razzle dazzle. It is clearly not an original idea as there are hundreds of videos on KZread about them. I did do things a little different, but it is hard to credit channels that contributed to my take on it, because there are so many.
As you can see in the video, I did not end up using the T-Track to mount this holder. That was due to spotting some damage on my thwart. I needed to repair it anyway, so mounting it in the manner I did was hitting two birds with one stone. However, the T-Track came out awesome and will be used! I already have several other projects and mods planned so make sure you hit that like button, subscribe to the channel and ring the notification bell! Thanks for watching....see you outside!

Thanks. I've been dipping stuff for a while now so I figured why not this?
Neat idea ! Really cool how you used the spray cans with the bucket of water, and the dipping ! Cheers

Thanks buddy. Yeah I have been "hydro dipping". Stuff for a bit now. I started my side hustle with custom tumblers etc. Into knifemaking now. I went fishing the following day, yesterday, and used it. Cleaned house lol. 6 rainbows and one brownie. Kept 4, released the others.

I can honestly say the shape of this rod holder works better for me personally than the other 3 name brand units I own. PVC is great for DIY stuff. It used to be a lot cheaper but still worth it depending on the project
Awesome. Definitely handy and a cheaper way to do it!

Did you use a silicone spray or clear afterwards

I always do yes. Giving the paint and clears plenty of time to cure certainly increases durability. Especially on plastic. It's hard to get paint to bond to plastic. It takes far longer to cure. So you can start with a bonding primer or you can wait like two weeks to cure lol
I made 2 under 30 bucks as well 😊

Yeah man it's a good idea for sure. It's too bad the price of PVC is so out of control. It used to make a good diy alternative. I made a video for diy fishing rod tubes/ kayak rack and one 10 foot section of 3 inch pipe is like 46 bucks.
