I don't like the plastic rod holders though, maybe, they would be good for small rods. Certainly would not put my 80 up there

It'd be great for STORAGE (not trolling) of lighter rods...looks like it could mount high enough so ya don't have to duck under it...

Interesting find.....definitely the number one pain in the *** on my boat is rods laying all over the floor and getting constantly moved around while fishing....While anchored I frequently lay a rod or two right on top of the bimini....only a matter of time before i forget they are up there and drop a couple in the drink....

Did that once long ago...lost a good rope and landing net...net bounced of someone's head on the way to Davy Jones locker...Oouch!!...

That rod rack is starting to grow on me...it would even work w/the top folded back and leaning on the rear supports...

i added a couple of these on the rear supports of my bimini. didn't think i'd use them , but they come in real handy. not for trolling, but for storage.

That's a good idea........for rod holders. Never enough of those. Thanks

Well for $88 bucks I figured I'd give it a shot...just ordered one today...definitely it should be functional enough to get rods up out of the way while anchored up.....just hoping it doesnt look to cheesy....will post pics after installation.
