- A simple way to create the STRONGEST car rod holders possible, using suction cup glass lifters, tested to lift weights of 70kg!!!
I have been using these kind of rod holders for about five seasons now with no issues whatsoever, as have the dozens of others using sets I have made along the River Moy in Ireland and the River Tay in Scotland.
The way I make them permits rotating the pipe, under a little friction, meaning you can face the suction cups any direction for any car bonnet.
A very handy bit of kit for moving between pools or beats while river fishing river or shore fishing, without having to pack down rods.
I hope you enjoy watching 👍

Materials you will need to create a set of 2 holders:
2x Double suction glass lifters
2x Hex M8 bolts, 150mm in length
Rubber tubing or washers
6x Hex M8 nuts
4x M8 Pronged T nuts
20mm Diameter plastic piping
200cm of 4mm Diameter bungee cord
Pipe lagging or small pool noodle
Insulation tape
Shrink tubing (only cosmetic)
Gorilla glue or similar
2x Dome nuts
Keeping rods and holders safe:
• Ensure both suction pads of each holder is bonded to the car or top of windscreen.
• Ensure both the suction pads and car surfaces are clean and do not wet suction pads.
• Attach the pads (at the reel end) as close to the nose of the bonnet as possible, ensuring the rod has as low a profile as possible.
• Be aware of very low lying branches which can catch longer rods.
• Keep a safe distance from cars in front as road chippings pose a risk to rods.
• Ensure bungee cord is neatly tucked under end cap to keep tension on rods while driving.
Disclaimer: while these rod holders are extremely strong, I cannot be responsible for any damage as a result of inappropriate use of rods and holders.

Col from Brisbane, Australia, just made one using your video as a guide. Made it a bit stronger for 4 rods and heavier Alvey type surf reels. Great when moving up and down the beach between gutters. Tks.
@@MrStream55 great to hear it was helpful Col, that is great to hear 😊
Great idea
Hope you found it helpful Chris and thanks for watching 👍
O yes i made a couple of them, great video 👍👊
Glad it helped Tommy 👍
Yes 👍
Thanks for watching Robert 👍
Great Idea! Now I need to build one! New Sub here!
Thanks for dropping by Greg, definitely worth making a set for moving from spot to spot 👍
I love how you take use of an IKEA/wish spanner. Use some locktite to Secure the bolt and the nut, holds better. But Nice diy
Just grabbed whatever was handiest in the toolbox👍, got to love IKEA 😂
Great video Sean, where did you buy the orange holders?
Thanks Damien, I usually get the holders from eBay. Just search for 2x suction cup glass lifters. You can usually get a set of 2 for around £10-15.
Two brands I've used in the past are silverline (blue) and marksman (orange).
Hope that helps 👍
@@SeánWoodsFishing thanks a million, they're a fine job
@@damienobrien7016 no problem, good luck with the build 👍
