Fly Rod Holder

thingiverse

General-use fly rod holder with mounting holes. Holds a wide range of fly rod sizes. Flared top makes it easier to guide butt in; flared bottom prevents fighting butt on larger rod sizes from catching when removing rod. Mount on wall, board, milk crate (e.g. in fishing kayak) or wherever works. Includes countersunk screw holes and standoffs to allow mounting to the object of your choice. Mounting holes are spaced 3" on center. Designed to be mounted using #10 flat-head screws; use wood screws to mount on wood surfaces, or machine screws with nuts to mount on thin surface (e.g. metals or plastic) with appropriately-spaced holes. (Screw heads fit inside the rod holder, with screw shafts protruding through to outside of rod holder.) Hexagon-shaped hole on front provides screwdriver access to lower screw. I've added a second file, "Flyrod_holder_wide_standoffs.stl", which has wider feet on the standoffs to minimize sideways rocking of the holder against the surface to which it is mounted (and associated wear and tear that may cause.) A variation of this rod holder is used by the "Fly Rod Holder for Perception Sound Kayak" (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5238823); that includes an adapter to fit the molded-in rod holders on the kayak. Update: There is a 1.5" ball mount adapter for this at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5275804. I would suggest using the wide standoff version of this holder with that ball mount adapter.
