How should fishing rods be stored?
The most important thing is to keep fishing rods off the ground so they can't get damaged. If they're indoors in your basement or garage, you can hang fishing rods from the wall to store them safely. In a car trunk, on a boat or outside, you'll want to use a carrier that's waterproof and sturdy to prevent any damage.
What's the best way to store fishing rods?
This is a matter of personal preference. Some anglers prefer to mount a rack for quick access to rods, while others will pack them away in a bunk box or carrier so they're ready to travel.
