Rod Storage

[fishsmith]

I hang mine rods from the basement rafters. I cut up wire coat hangers, shaped them like a 'J' and made a loop for the screw with needlenose pliers.
aside from the wife being pissed that I doubled up a couple of her shirts for hangers, it was cost free and works like a champ.

**use screws when going into rafters, hammering in nails can crack grout or wallboard above.

if you mount the j hooks up high on the joists it may give you enough headroom

I like that green tape in the background of the second pic

I like that idea but the cealing is closed and I don't have access above the joist unless a pull the cealing down. I think the j hooks will work fine as i have a lot of headroom.

This is the start of Fishing Cave #2

third ditto. They also make them flat with a little upturn on the end. Job Lot has them cheap.
