Abstract
A versatile, adjustable storage system for fishing rods which consists of two basic components. One component comprises an extruded storage rack adapted to be mounted on a vertical surface. The rack includes an upper L-shaped flange and a lower flange which has a dovetailed channel or slot formed longitudinally therein. The other component comprises a socket member consisting of an annulus having a rearwardly extending support which terminates in a dovetailed flange. The dovetailed flange of the socket member may be slidably inserted within the longitudinal dovetailed channel of the extrusion, and a plurality of such sockets may be fitted onto a single storage rack and may be of different or common sizes for storing any desired number or type of fishing rods.
