I've always wanted Rod Trees for my boat but I couldn't bring myself to paying the big $$$ for them. With the wind being too high to fish, I found myself bored and figured out how to make them myself! Have a look and maybe you can make them yourself for your boat too! If you have any questions about how I did it, ask away!

The base will be bolted to my boat and stay on there for good. The trees and mounts now have a hole through them and a pin goes through to hold them on and from spinning.
