When trapping with the SxS, the rods are hauled on the trailer and then held in the removable racks with bunge cords, Biggest downfall is not being able to open the passenger door but I am usually by myself anyway. The other inconvenience is the racks have to stick out past the side of the SxS. But the racks are easily removed when I do not need to haul rods. Nice setup.

loosanarrow trapper L Joined: Mar 2014 Lakes Region Indiana	Originally Posted by Swamp Wolf All mine are 9ft due to fact I can lay them diagonally in my truck bed and close tailgate and they ride OK in my SxS bed without bouncing out. The 10 footers stuck out the bed and bounced out of SxS due to overbalance. I also use 9 foot, smooth cold finish 7/16”. I buy 12 footers (I hear they are way more expensive now than when I bought my last bunch) cut 3’ off each one, and I built couplers so for very soft conditions on the bottom end, I couple a 3 footer. I also have 1 and 2 foot extensions. This way I use the full 9 feet of the main rod and the extension is what is shoved in at the bottom. When needed of course. Sometimes 9 is enough feet. I also made adjustable stops for the bottom. These are my favorite steel rods so far. http://www.mgnbd.com/

Welded washer on a piece of metal conduit and hammered it on the top end for T stake, put slider and chain on, and hammered an annealed nut up from the bottom end for a stop. Works slick, someone on here came up with it, I just copied what they did.

I put a short rerod with a washer welded half way down into the square tubing on the front of my Ranger. Then put the washer on the anchor end over the rerod. Put the other end in the pvc pipe at the rear. I can then open both of my doors. It is more blessed to give than to receive

I scrounge mine from construction sites, not cost effective to restock leftovers, they're usually glad to get rid of it, and even let me plug in a chop saw to cut them to size. Road/bridge work is another way to get free bar. Every kid needs a Dog and a Curmudgeon. Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor. Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!
