Rod Holder Rocket Launcher

[Whatta Catch]

I am thinking of adding rod holders as a rocket launcher on our 40' H and H. Any suggestions or pictures of those who have them will be greatly appreciated.

Hey Rob,heard you had a good trip.....my bud Joey was with you......as for the rods on the over hang....most are made to high..so you have to stand on a cooler to reach them.......I have it on mine but it seem like it just holds a broom and big bass net....things I don't use all the time

Hey Mike, Yes it was a good trip. I thought it would be too high but it seems you can't have enough holders in the heat of the action.

I have some nice ones that I had build last year for my rig. 2 courses of six rod holders. The top ones are too high to reach from the cockpit (so I have the least likely to be used rods there) but are easily grabbed from the FB, ladder, or bucket. I don't have any pictures but can take some this weekend if you want.

That makes 22 rod holders on board and it is still not enough. Now I want 2 more up on the bow for the popping rods.

I would suggest have a custom one made to your height.
I have 6 across the back of my roof (above roof)
MUCH easier for me to reach now after raising my deck height 5 inches.
I'm about 5"10 and used to struggle to reach or have to stand on a cooler or bucket to reach.
I've got another 6 up much higher across the back of my tower.
One disadvantage of raising my deck height my head room in the wheel house is about 6"1 so no good for storing rods overhead as lots of downeast do with rod hangers mounted to the underside of the roof.
These pics are my solution of what I came up with using the Lee rod hangers I removed from where they used to be mounted under my wheelhouse roof.
These 6 rods are used daily for bait jiggin and as cod rods. Makes it real easy to rinse them down at the end of the day !
