I haven't figured out how to take my pictures and put them into my message....
I built a simple rod holder to attach to the rear of my tube.
I found some clamps that worked quite well.

They were in the small parts bins at Lowes and are called "1 inch rubber lined clamps"
The pipe is 1 1/4" piping.

Mistakes:
I should have used T's on the ends to accomodate long handles.
I'll have to flip it so the reels are on the other side of the rack.

Otherwise it seems to be a fairly stable setup. I'm sure I'll screw with it down the road.
Comments?
