How to Make an Adjustable Rod Holder for a Boat From PVC Pipe
One reason to own a boat is so that you can take it out on the water and fish. Rather than leaving your fishing poles lying about, it is best to keep them in a holder. There is no need to spend a lot of money purchasing a fishing rod holder for your boat, as you can make one yourself out of common PVC pipe. You can even add attachments so that the holder is adjustable.
