Nicely done vvbob. I have been thinking of a similar idea for my Scotty downriggers. It sure is a clean way to store them.

Great idea, vvBob! I just bought two Scottys and they have been flopping around in the garage. Not good. I like your idea better.

When you run out of room got to do something, works good for me as well!

On those Scottys, is there a plate mounted on the board that you screw into?

Somebody needs to organized these type of projects. I've seen some for lure storage, rod and reel storage. Should be some kind of "how to" book.

I have one on my boat, I use it any time someone is starting to out fish me. It even telescopes long enough to reach fish being caught on other boats.thumbsupthumbsup
