I used some PVC pipes for tubes that I can slide my rod tips into so they won't get beat up. I had been considering the layout for a long time, so I thought I had figured out the best way to arrange things so that it would be easy to access all of the rods. I didn't want to have to move the rods on top out of the way in order to get to one on the bottom. I came up with a kind of J-shaped pattern for my configuration. It did prove relatively easy to access all of the rods, but unfortunately it made a somewhat bad angle for placing rods into the tubing in the bottom corner. Specifically, it's hard to put my 7'6" heavy action flipping rods there because they're not as bendy as the others. Anyhow, I think it will work out just fine; I'm going to put my shorter rods in the corner and I will see how well it works out this year. I may consider changing the configuration around later down the road. I'm sure I will at least add more tubes so it will hold more rods.
