Harley I gotta give ya some Karma for that idea. What type of pipe did you make it out of? Thanks for sharing, I like the trick with the pedestal seat.

[harleywizard]

It's made of 1 1/2" pvc. I painted it with texture paint.

Harleywizard,

Great Job! Don't know if you know this but they have a simular one at Bass Pro Shop made from alum..... It has rod holders and folds up to about a two foot section so you can store it in your boat.... I do like yours They run about $29.99 holds 4 rods!

Great looking rig.

Good to see ya out there the other day......

I have seen those and that's the reason I made this one, you can assemble this one with out glue and disassemble it but I glued this one. I can stand on the crossbar and I weigh 200lbs with no problem. It costs about $15.00 to make it without the driftmasters.

I knew it did not cost much to make i was just thinking about storage. ( good job )

Rod Holders are about 4.00 to 5.00 four be 20.00 + and pipe. would not save alot if any.

Looks great! Good job.

The rod holders are 12.00 ea. and the pipe is a lot steadier and stronger than the mini rig.

Nothin' says you have to use those goofy little rod holders. When surf fishing at the beach, we use PVC, driven into the sand, to hold rods. You could make the holders out of PVC too, and it would offset some of the cost.

PVC would be O.K for rod holders, BUT, it would be difficult to get the outside holders at a 45 degree angle out to the side. Do they make 45 degree tees? That's a nice set-up Harley. I like the way you put the seat pole through the center post.
