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

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

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

WOW!!!! The conditions have improved over the years, Me, wife and daughter shared a quonset hut with another family for a year before we move to town. :D
