Can anyone tell me how to make a quick, cheap but good rodholder? Like step by step directions and materials needed. Thanks.
If you are talking about for the bank than I have your solution. Get yourself about 1-2' of pvc pipe big enough for the rod but to fit in. Get yourself 2 hose clamps with a slightly bigger circumferance. Then find yourself a metal rod thats sturdy, either one with a sharp end or grind one on yourself. put the hose clamps on about 2-3" from each end and make the top of the pipe flush with the rod and then move the metal rod about a 1/2" up so you have something to pound on for harder ground. Tighten clamps. Now you are good to go. I have to that I use for winter steelhead plunking and they work great. Goodwill is a good place to look for things like roticery shafts that can be used for a good metal stake. Then find yourself a good lightwieght chair and get a cow bell and attach it to a closepin. Load your gear in a backpack and don't forget the beer. strap chair to bag. head out to your favorite hole and setup shop.
Thanks Thuggin, I did mean for the Bank, also, where can I get pvc pipe?

Home Depot or Lowes if one is nearby. Hardware store otherwise, like ACE Hardware.
I make mine from PVC also but I just cut the lower end at an angle and take a rubber mallet to drive it into the dirt. If its rocky then I build a pile of rocks to hold it. They just don't work too well with a fly rod!:shock:
