Fishermen, Keep Your Poles Safe in Your RV

On more than one occasion I’ve had my fishing rods damaged or broken because another piece of cargo crushed them. I stored them in a canvas bag in my 5th wheel, but it wasn't sufficient. Here's a solution for protecting your valuable fishing poles. The “AirLiner 4588” is a telescoping fishing rod case that looks more like it holds a bazooka.The three piece design extends from 48 to 88 inches (the next model up will extend out to 112 inches). It has a molded handle for easy carrying and is lockable. Constructed from heavy duty blown plastic this unit is tough and ready for the rigors of RV travel. With a five inch diameter it’ll hold eight fishing rods (without the reels) up to seven feet long. It costs around $40.00 dollars. This unit is well worth the price since it will save them from being crushed while stored in your RV compartments. Made by Plano (famous for tackle boxes) it’ll protect your expensive poles and help you stay organized. You can purchase these at Cabela’s, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Wal-Mart.com, and the Sport Chalet. Read more about it at Plano. Covering all the angles - Jim Twamley, Professor of RVing

  • Also, check out the Pro Locker on the internet. They are made to hold rods with the reels and work great especially for campers and motorhomes.

  • I just went down to the hardware store and bought some PVC with some end caps. I cut it to length and away I went. It also brings stability, as the center, to the in-door/out-door carpet I roll up around it to latch to the bumper. Have a popup so space is at a premium.

  • HOME DEPOT AND SOME BLACK PVC PIPE MADE A NICE RACK FOR ALL MY POLES.
    MOUNTED INSIDE THE OUTSIDE CABINET ON THE BACK WALL KEEPS THEM OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE FLOOR AND MAKES ROOM FOR ALL THE OTHER REC STUFF.

  • In my Class A I have one compartment that is only a couple feet wide but goes all the way through. There is space above the frame rails to slide all my rods across with reels attached. A well placed bungy cord secures them all up and out of the way.
