How we organized our fishing rods using three fishing rod racks to store them. One rod rack used paracord and two screws to mount fly rod tubes to the wall of our home office / fishing room. Another rod rack we used was made of wood and mounted to the wall. It costs about $30 to mount 40 fishing rods. Much cheaper than the commercially made ones! Lastly, we used a PVC Floor Rod Rack to store six fishing rods that we would be using in the near term – surf casting rods, kayak fishing rods, and a couple of EmmRods. Do check out the video and our DIY Fishing Rod Racks playlist for more details on how we made each type of rod rack!

Finally got the video edited… it’s the DIY Tube Popper Fly that we used the other day at Stoney Hollow Pond. The version we used at the pond was painted yellow. These are painted white. (This one is a variant of an earlier one we tied… Tube Popper Fly). Also, used the Mini-Balsa Wood Lathe we made several years ago along with a tube tying attachment on an old vise we keep just for making tube flies. Lathe is not required, can be shaped by had using hand tools and sand paper. Do check it out and give it a try fishing them on your local ponds this Season!

Made the DIY Green LED Fishing Light several years ago. Since then made some improvements! This video provides an update on the latest version we use. For more on the circuit, check out https://hubpages.com/sports/GreenLEDFishingLightPart1
