Has anyone on the forum built or designed a room to hold all of your tackle? If you have can you show me pictures please?

Give it up, James...you and Davidson have enough tackle betwixt ya's to fill the Taj Mahal. I'm guessin' the Holt tackle cave is well under way, if not completed already.

James, make the room expandable.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

I just finished building my house a few months ago and i actually made one of my rooms into a tackle room. I built a rod rack out of ruff cut cedar that goes all the way down on wall. It holds 25 rods. In the closet I put peg board on the wall to hang up all my soft plastics so I wouldn't have to dig through a box to find a certain color. I want to put some kinda work bench in the so I will have space for when im pouring soft plastics. Somethings still missing in the room though, but it looks great so far.

My tackle room consists of a minnow tank, a worm refridgerator, a box of hooks, some assorted crappie jigs, some split shots and a few slip bobbers.......

I just went to lowes and got some 1x4 ruff cut cedar and nailed 2 together for the top and 2 for the bottom. drilled some 1.5" holes about a quarter of a inch deep on the bottom to hold the base and got some clips for the top to hold the rods in place. On the bottom holes I got some felt pads like you put under chair legs and put down in the holes.It was really simple and real cheap to make. I can take some more pictures if you need them.

A humidor, a magazine rack, a couch (why actually sleep anywhere else if you don't have a wife to fuss at you for not coming to bed?) or at least a comfy recliner - just let your imagination run wild!

A comfortable place to work on lures , flies etc (desk or table and chair). Good lighting so you won't go blind trying to untangle bird nests or work on reels or lures.

I was at a fishing lodge in Belize last summer that had its rods stored on hanging hooks parallel along the ceiling. I thought this was a great use of space that usually is not used for anything. This is particulary handy for fly rods which are typically 9' long.

I thought the same thing, and put hooks in my shed. I found that if you don't use the rod for a year or so, they will take a set if they aren't supported so there isn't any bow in them when they are hanging.

if you've only got space for 25, where do you keep your spares? Seriously, this is like a dream! I do have a wife and if she saw that much room anywhere in the house she would find stuff to fill it up to the ceiling and then complain that if I would just move those rods, she'd have room to put her __________ and ___________ and all those ____________ she's got stored in my closet. (fill in the blanks yourself you married guys)
If you're too scared to throw that bait where the fish are, why did you tie it on?
