Rod holders for truck
I've been searching for a rod(s) holder for the inside of my cap on my full size truck. I'm tired of taking the chance that my gear gets damaged by other equipment shifting around while driving. I've already had to replace an eye on a boat rod from a cooler banging into it. I've seen everything some cheap-o's to pretty expensive. I'm thinking of a rig that I can attach to the ceiling of my cap. Anyone out there recommend a good set-up? I appreciate any help.

Easy enough to make with any of the various plastic rod holers screwed into an appropriate sized piece of wood and eithe screwed or glues to the cap.

IF you are looking for commerical
There are some over-head rod holders available out there for vans and SUVs, I am sure they will work in cap.
Not sure if anyone local sells them, but I know of a few websites that sell them.
If you need the websites - PM me and lemme know

Thanks guys, saw one at Cabelas that looks decent. Chris, I'll take a look at that, sounds like what I'm in the market for.

I also have the Rod Saver.As long as you can lock your cap its the way to go.
I don't have a cap I use mine for transportation purposes only.

I'm leaning towards this one carried by cabelas for $39.00. I've already busted two eyes on separate rods  |
If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.
