I'm going to build the rod holder soon, THANKS to you, as the TROUT opener is only 4 weeks away!

Thanks for your post and the PDF.
no problem...glad to be of help to fellow fisherman....yeah you could design a rudimentary "field goal support" on the back stake pockets and then a strut across the roof using the "rain gutters" to support the tubes....be interested to see what you come up with....or you could just make a "ladder rack" out of 2x4's and put the front crossbar vertical so you could drill holes thru it to hold the tubes....the back crossmember would lay flat so as to put the bolts thru the 2x4 and the box.
I'm gonna post a very simple mod later tonight that my friends and I have deemed useful for our purposes...

heres to beautiful streams, isolated fun with friends, and TIGHT WET LINES!!!
