Gear Review: Abu Garcia Rod Racks

WHAT IS IT?

Abu Garcia Rod Racks 

WHAT SETS IT APART?

Just as there is no one rod for every imaginable fishing scenario, there’s also no standard for how and where we store our rods. Recognizing that space and rod count varies from angler to angler, Abu Garcia offers a new line of aluminum floor and wall-mounted (vertical and horizontal) solutions with sharp, functional styling that will show off your collection, while keeping it properly positioned for easy access. 

HOW DO I USE IT?

The vertical wall-mounted unit holds 11 rods or six combos and features high-density foam rails. The horizontal wall-mounted unit employs rubber grommets to protect rod finish. Both are designed with stud-width spacing and interlocking anchor points, which allow for rack expansion (hardware included). Also using high-density foam rails, the floor standing unit holds 44 rods or 22 combos (no tools required for assembly). 

HOW MUCH?

$39.99 (wall-mounted)

$129.99 (floor standing)

ANGLER’S INSIGHT: 

From full-on tackle rooms and man caves, to spare bedrooms and carved-out garage space, storing rods safely and in organized fashion keeps our tools of the task accessible and battle ready. Abu Garcia’s use of aluminum construction yields rod storage units that are easily handled (moved and mounted) and resistant to the nicks and scrapes common to wooden racks. Offering three configurations means there’s an Abu Garcia rod rack for any space.
