Luckily, you can keep them organized and upright with this DIY PVC holder.Instructables user TampaGeek created this modular system that he can customize to suit the number of fishing rods he's transporting. The rod holders themselves are off the shelf, but the PVC base is custom. It can be expanded out into a stand to set the poles in your garage, or broken down into a mount to attach to the side of a cooler or wheeled cart. The specifics of the build will vary depending on how many rods you're storing and where you want to keep them, but the Instructable gives you a great overview to get started.PVC Modular Fishing Rod Holder | Instructables

Easy-to-make Fishing Line Stripper
This handy fishing line stripper can be made in just a few minutes using a couple of Greek yogurt containers. In addition, you will need a length of threaded rod (1/4" x 20), two flat washers, a hex nut, and a wing nut. That's it! The line stripper can be chucked into any power drill and be used to very quickly remove the line from a reel. Just wedge the end of the line between the two yogurt containers, turn on the drill, and remove as much line as you need to from your fishing reel. When you're done, just unscrew the wing nut. This allows you to separate the containers and the mass of line that has been wound there can than be easily removed
You can use 1/4" - 20 threaded rod. If you have the means to cut a thread yourself, use plain 1/4" rod and then thread a short length of the end to a 1/4"-20 thread. The second method has a slight advantage, as we will see later. Cut the rod to a length of 5 inches. I used 1/4" aluminum rod, but the material is not critical. Attach a hex nut and a flat washer, as shown in the photo. Adjust the nut so that the amount of exposed thread remaining beyond the washer is 3/8". If you have chosen to cut your own thread into the end of a solid rod, then make the length of the thread such that 3/8" is exposed beyond the washer when the nut is screwed on completely. The advantage of this second method is that you will never have to adjust or measure the amount of exposed thread once you've made the spindle.
