Building the Best Fishing Rack Selection

Our Reclaimed Fishing Rod Rack - constructed from repurposed white oak wine barrel staves

 If any time is ripe for wetting a line it's these days when the sunrise hours are longest and the waters are still cool.  Along the eastern seaboard the quarry is bass.  Striped for the saltwater anglers and smallmouths for the fresh.  I can happily attest that they've been eating quite fine lately, though a trophy catch still eludes me.

Back in the office fishing remains the topic of choice as we've been hard at work, having conversations, spitballing ideas, chatting with suppliers and generally employing the heavy lifting that comes with introducing a new product category.  As we head toward the heart of summer we're pretty pleased with the start of our newest category: Fishing Racks.

I say start because we're by no means finished with our curation of quality fishing products.  There's more stocking, inventorying and onboarding to accomplish before we rap things up and head back for the nearest waters.  But in the meantime, have a look.  I daresay our lineup rivals any competitor you'll toss forward in terms of unique, attractive product offerings coupled with functionality for home, vehicle, offshore boat or bass-stalking kayak.  And remember, there's more to come.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Freestanding 24 Fishing Rod Storage Rack- choose from 4 customized fishing designs.  Constructed from a weatherproof poly material, this fishing rod rack is perfect for docks or boathouses. Leave outside for years and use it to spray down rods after use.

                                                                                                

The Horizontal Suction Mount Rod Holder has some cool technology. It mounts to boats, vehicles, walls with super strong suctions with integrated vacuum pumps. Remove, reattach and use in multiple places.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               For all us fishermen who are constantly tangling lines and snapping rod tips on doors and truck tailgates.  The Truck Bed Fishing Pole Carrier solves that problem.

                                                                                       Attach it to your boat's hardtop, the wall at your house or your garage ceiling, the Fast Retrieve Fishing Pole Storage Rack is a great solution for storing rods easily and at an affordable price.

Until next time...

The Best Way to Store and Transport Your SUPs If You Live Near the Water

Versatility is one of those words we all like to hear when purchasing a product.  It suggests, "hey, this gadget can do more than one thing, but you don't have to pay double the price."  If you're purchasing a versatile food processor, there's always the hope it will chop your veggies and do double duty as an iPhone dock.  It's a quirky combo, and maybe you don't really need it, but it's a free iPhone charger!

Along those same lines I want to point out one of StoreYourBoard's versatile products, the 2 Paddleboard Cart and Stand Combo.  If you'd like the detailed specs, follow the link.  But if all you need is the quick knowledge, here it is:

• 
  SUP dolly for 2 paddleboards.  Great for hauls to the beach, river, lake, with beefy wheels that don't bog down and lock up under the weight of 2 boards.

• At home, slip off the wheels, slide on the floor supports and you have simple, compact board storage for the garage, basement or backyard shed.

• $169.99! Take it from me (the guy trying to sell this thing!), that's a good price.
  

Anyway, this SUP rack/cart combo sells pretty well.  People like it (5 Star Reviews across the board) and it's versatile!

Now, we do have listings for both the SUP dolly only and the SUP rack only (no wheels).  Find them here:

• 2 SUP Carrier 

• 2 SUP Stand

These two products absolutely fly off the shelves.  In fact, I'm not even sure we shelve them anymore.  Which is fantastic for all involved; great for customers (excellent reviews again) and good for keeping the lights on at StoreYourBoard.

 

But here's the curious part. Both the 2 SUP Carrier ($119.99) and the 2 SUP Stand ($119.99) sell many times better than the versatile 2 Paddleboard Cart and Stand Combo ($169.99).  For the price difference that really stood out to me.  Interesting, no?

I'll leave you with this.  Buy what you want and what works for you.  If you're never going to haul a dolly, what'd you need wheels for?  Same goes for the opposite way around.  But if a combo makes sense, then a little awareness helps, and this was it.

A Mission of Great Importance: Design Your Own MultiSport Rack

It all began about a year ago with an all-out-build-out of the Stainless Steel SUP and Kayak Rack.  At the time we were scratching our heads a bit at the sharp increase in customer service inquiries along the lines of:

 "I have 3 kayaks and 2 SUPs...what rack would you recommend?"

"Errr...."

Recognizing that a "buy 2 of these and 1 of these" answer just wasn't cutting it, we turned toward finding a solution.  Which didn't take long; the answer was sitting right in front of us. Several of the racks StoreYourBoard.com already carried were capable of customization and multi-sport storage.  Some were even designed for it.

But what we weren't doing--what no one else was or currently is doing!--was translating the ease of customization to all you good folks, our customers.  Sure, you could customize a rack for your needs, but it probably required several phone calls, a bunch of back and forth about measurements, worries about weights and finally some "sounds great, but you said HOW MUCH?!"

For those reasons, a la carte rack build outs were something of a futile internet exercise.  E-commerce is all about ease of purchase and these racks were anything but.

So we set out to right the wrongs.  And frankly we figured out why no one else is offering custom built, instantly priced, freestanding, multi-sport racks.  The listings take a MASSIVE amount of sweat equity to account for all the varying configurations.  But we powered through and are now incredibly satisfied to offer several of our bestselling freestanding SUP, Surf & Kayak racks as truly customizable solutions.

 THE ORIGINAL - What started it all....
Yes, it all started with the Stainless Steel SUP and Kayak Rack, but it didn't end there!  So without further adieu, have a look.  For indoor/outdoor storage of 2-10 watercraft of any assortment they're hard to beat.

                               THE ORIGINAL ON STEROIDS - Ya, 2X sided for 10 watercraft
