    Nice rig. I have used a 3-tube rod holder bolted on the front of an Igloo cooler for nearly 20 years on various power boats. It is great way to add rod storage while still being portable.

      I like the rigging. GYU1979 does a similiar thing with a milk crate. The rods make it easy to attach and detach.

        Sweet! I just got a cooler that I got for my yak and want to do the same, I think I might just borrow your design!

          Yeah got the rod idea from him at the march M&G but a cooler works better for me over a crate though I also have a crate that fits the same setup for when I want to travel light

            i tried a couple of set ups with pvc first and like this one better every thing is secure the only addition I might make is to put a latch on the cooler in case i turtle it will stay shut but we will see
