Put some tie downs on the end of your bed rails near the tailgate, stretch a bungie between them, then get some velcro, rest the rods on top of the bungie and wrap the velcro around the rod and the bungie at an angle. Shouldn't cost more than $10. Its like a shock absorber for your sticks.

Beer is the reason we get up each afternoon.

This is a nice rack but its for transportation only.It'll deter no thievary whatsoever.Don't forget your rods will be sticking out possilble 1-4' past the back of your bed depending on size of rod.

Yeah thats nice, but, one of my favorite places, I'd have to have that mounted on the floor of the bed.. , looks like that would have the rods to high to get through the entrance to undisclosed location.
I have to take them out of my front rack there, that is why I made my jury rigged bed rod holder.
A few of you have seen my homemade from dump scraps bed mount, when it pukes, I already have a better idea..
Macojoe posted some pics of the one he made, a while back. I remember that one was pissah too.

I know what ya mean about it being high. Mounted on the floor would be better.
