easiest way is get a PVC pipe and cut the one end with at a angle... easy and cheap.

M - thanks - So inside diameter should hold rod, sans reel, and then the slope on the cut is to spike it into the ground..right?   Suggested length?

ya not sure where to get angle iron then, it dosnt have to be huge as the rod CN is lending is pretty short, I replaced the eyes on ot so it will work ok, just not all that stout.A 3 or 4 foot stout pipe will work as long as you can hammer it it the sand/rocks.

I have a rod holder you could use. He's 7 years old but he's going to see Yu-Gi-Oh on Saturday. Maybe next time.

Home Depot sells angle iron.  You could also try the metal recyclers.  There is one on Mitchel Isl.  and I think its called ABC Metal Recyclers.

My rod holder consist of 4 feet of 1 1/2" angle iron sharpened to a point at the bottom. A 6 1/2" long 1 3/4" diameter pipe is welded 4" from the top. A railway spike is welded onto the back so I can hammer the rod holder into the gravel.

As Grumman has noted, Home Depot carries angle irons. Most scrap yards carry them too. Railway spikes can be found along railway tracks. Hope this help

If you can get the spikes out, the steel rod you need will come with it. ;D

If you can't weld the pipe to the angle iron, you can use duct tape.


or you can use three hose clamps
