I built a rod rack by cutting two circles from 3/4 inch plywood with my router, one 18", the other 12" across. I drilled holes in the centers and put a 1-1/2 inch dowel about four feet long between them. Screwed small plastic cups (like specimen cups) all around the bottom disc close to the outside edge to hold the rod butts. I put velcro loop all around the outside of the upper disc, and use pieces of velcro hook over the rods to hold them in place. It will hold about a dozen or so rods and reels in a near vertical position, slightly tilted toward the center of the holder.
