The web set up does sag. I didn't like it. Rod loft worked OK at first but had trouble keeping suction cups attached and later the screw attaching the beams to the components that held on to the car whether suction cups or handles over the passenger seat kept coming apart. Maybe I didn't adjust them right. Steve Two piece rods with reels attached were not a problem as there is a strap on the rear holder that lets you lay them into the carrier and fasten over the top.

I agree with you on the second one. I made one similar to the second link and it sagged terrible and the rods shifted way too much. The rack in the last link looks to be only good for carrying rods (without reels attached) as the holders/holes look way too close to each other. The racks in the first link get my vote.

I just angled the PVC tubes up toward the front so that there is some tension and bend in the rods so that the tips are pressed to the roof of the car. It's also good that way so that anyone sitting in the back seats don't have rods hitting their heads, and there is still plenty of room incase I have my inflatable boat stuff on the back seat.

Could probably build a frame to support the PVC tubes. What holds up the tips? Steve

I'll send you some photos via email ;-) Wilsong, my rack is made of a long piece of 4″ x 3″ wood (that I had laying around) and it’s covered with some grey boat deck carpet (that I had laying around) and has 10 short pieces of pvc tube with an inside diameter a little bigger than my rod handles (that I had laying around) and those are attached to the wood and carpet using stainless steel clamps (which I had to buy :sad: ).

First one couldn't handle its max 10 rods and collapsed. Second one sags down too low from the roof plus only holds 4 rods. Steve What material did you use for your racks?

I made my own rod rack that holds 10 rods, don't you remember it?? If I can work out how to post photos in this post I will show you mine. Edit; I can't figure it out, any hints on how to add photos to an old post?? I just posted to your question in Ultimate Bass with a great rod rack, although it is a little pricey.
