Anybody living in an apartment or smaller house (no garage) come up with some good ways to store 1 piece rods? Between my brother and I my place is starting to look like a swap meet

nails. horizontal on the wall with shrink tube on them. hang 'em up! i used hooks in my garage.

took these awhile ago... its much messier now.

you can do some cool stuff with wood as well. i've seen some cool basement pics from guys on the east coast.

Depending on how big ur bed is put them under the bed and get a foot still thar is as wide as ur bed and has storage in it and then you can store your gear inside of it and also add length to cover the tips of your rods from a major accedent

I use to store them behind the sofa.

This aint pretty, but it got them up off the floor of the garage.

I've lived in small appartments with 9' plus jig sticks. I did a quick and dirty solution by sticking 2 nails in the studs high up on a wall about 4' apart. Then I cut maybe 3' length of light rope and put loops on the ends. Put a loop over each nail, insert rod(or rods), then put on the second loop. I kept meaning to make some thing better looking but it worked for years and never up graded. Mike
