- A quick look at how I built a rod rack for my boat. You can always buy a rod rack but they are expensive and may not fit your boat just right. Building your own you save money and can make it to suit your needs. Thanks for watching and God bless. #monsterrodholders #catfishboat #HGfishing

NICE! I myself don't want the center 2/3rd's of the stern cluttered with anything to fix on the motor or land those BIG PIGS! 😁
Great work!
Just what I was looking for. Thank you sir!
great project
the classic set up nice
That looks great!!
Good job bud !!!!!
Nice job! Nice workshop too.
That is sweet I really like that GREAT JOB 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome job. 👍🏻👊🏻
Great job Hagen, you the man!!!
Thank you
Awesome work! Can't wait to see the new boat in action.
Thank you
Useing the rod holders to bolt down the rod rack is a great idea....good thinking sir.
Looking good man! Cant wait for you to take it out fishin!
You can make me one Hegan. It looks good my man. I love to go fishing with you anytime. Have good one.
I really like this back of boat set up good for a bunch of activity’s
That turned out GREAT !!!! Can't wait until you get this on the water.
Thank you
nice weld, if i don't get home soon and get out on water i may go crazy, your channel and couple others is all i watch when i'm out of town. one time i was gone 4 months i just got home went ahead and drove out to shop and hooked up boat and pulled around well that didn't go well with wife lol, probably the best one i did i was gone couple months told my wife i'm nearly to town it was around lunch time, heck i just stopped by house hooked up to boat cause lake was on the way to her work so i pulled into her work she came out and all she said is "this is ridiculous". lol i smoothed it over later came home and cooked some catfish lol. oh heck she put up with me 30 years so far, when she says stuff like that she just wanting to have a conversation with her husband i've mastered the art of looking like i'm listening.
Sounds like me and my wife lol thanks for watching👍
Great looking rod rack !!!! Really enjoy your channel..Keep ‘em coming friend !
Great work.Thank for sharing my fren
Thank you
Nice job Hagen, it's coming along very nice. I can't wait to see it on the water!
Thank you
Great looking rod holder man. Can't wait to see it in use.
Thank you
I really like the rod Idea. Super strong for those big boys.
Coming along real good👍🏼
Looks great Hagen 👍🇺🇸
Thank you
WoW! Outstanding. Enjoyed the video and the boat looks great!
Thank you
Looks great. Can't wait to see it in action.
Thank you
Nice 👌
Just like downtown!
Wire in a spot light on both ends for night fishing. Looking good...
Great rod rack build. Light weight with the aluminum but yet plenty strong. Smart switching to steel so you could weld it for your uprights. Looking forward to the next one and seeing you get out and slay them in this new boat
Nice, neat, no fuss, rodholder, just how I like things.
Nice! 👍🏼👊🏻
Awesome job bud 👍🎣🇺🇸
Thank you
Good job. Keep up the good work.
Thank you
Hi my friend, this is another great video as always. Man Hagen your channel is really doing great, congratulations. Keep up the great fun/ work. Thanks for sharing your videos with America 🇺🇸
Thank you
Excellent choice on the design of the rod rack. It looks awesome and appears to be rock solid!
Thank you
Never did alot of catfishing. But I really enjoy it. Cool videos.
Thank you
Good job young man! Love your passion and thriftyness. Boat looking great. Enjoy watching you and your son catching the big 'uns! Keep the videos comming.
Thank you
Awesome
Simple but perfect.
Thank you
I have been watching diy rod rack videos looking for ideas and I think I'm going to build this one. Looks great and it's a straight forward build.
Thank you and good luck 👍
Looks awesome
Thank you
Looks good brother! Really enjoy the videos. I hope to do more videos this year!
Nice work Hagen. Looks good.
Thank you
Very nice Hagen! Awesome rack! Nice shop too!
Thank you
Dude nice shop! The truck is sweet, I’m restoring an old 83 Chevy right now. The boat and rod holders are nice too. Keep it up.
Looks good.
Thank you
Man after my own heart, needs rod rack, builds barge tow bar! LOL
I call it, building for drunk.--strong enough that if your 230lb buddy has one too many, he still can't tear it up.
BTW,, Is that an Ale 8 bottle in the splash well? Sure looks like it. Only one store near here in WV that carries it and I have to pay out the yang for it.
i love it wanna put one on my tracker classic tired of short rod holders and reaching down to get my rod
Looks amazing my friend
Thank you
First! AWESOME rod rack Sir!
Thank you
Really nice Hagen.
Thank you
Nice job.
Thank you
fine rod rack looking forward to seeing it action keep the videos coming
Thank you
@@hagengrubbsfishing found your channel surfing has quickly become one of my favorites
Man that’s old derby car metal right there!!
I love those older cc boats
Great work, man. The removable rod rack on my bass boat and the one I built for Heath's boat are both light steel sides with aluminum crossbar. Haven't had anything come close to killing it yet, and yours is built much tougher than ours.
Hagen,
Brother, that boat and the rod rack is awesome. Was real cool your workplace gave you the aluminum top channel. Wish I had a shop like yours, too. Go slay ‘em, man!!!! I see a new PB coming your way!
Thank you
Awesome job...someone can run a bead!
Thank you
Looks good man. A country boy can get things done.
Thanks
Good video... and you sure do have a nice place to work in as well.
Thank you
Leave a bolt in those nuts when you weld them on.. keeps the slag out
Nice bro good job 👍
Thank you
Looks good budro. Im a fabricator too, fabbed up most the stuff on my boats. Another good video. Keep up good work
Thank you
Hope all is well Hagan! Fellow Kentucky boy here, fairly new to catfishing, always did mostly crappie and bass, got me a pontoon last year I want to set up for catfishing. This is an awesome rod holder, I want to do something similar for my boat, thanks so much for sharing. On another note, if you ever do a subscriber fish along, I would love to be on the list😂🎣 always look forward to your videos 👍
Great job on the rod holders. I know this is old but video but wanted to let you know I enjoyed it.
I took a truck inner tube and cut it to the size of the baseplate and put between baseplate and the gunnel to stop corrosion.
Good video, that merc and h.d. Rod rack will be strong enough to hook a tow harness to and pull your son on tube.
looks great. now i just need to get me one built and convince my brother-in-law to do the welding up.
Thank you
That piece of aluminum is what I'm needing 😁😁
Great video man! You have some skill for sure. I'm in the process of buying a house with a big shop, then I can really get detailed with my projects. That's one thing about catfishing, you have to be a little creative. It requires so much gear and you need to be organized. Great looking boat man!
Thank you
That's so bad ass bro, can't wait to fish with you. If that your garage? That's a huge workspace!
It’s my dads garage but it’s where I keep all my stuff. Thanks for watching
for your bait tray you could put a boat pedestal seat that turns and mount your cutting board on top of that then just pull it out of the hole when you want to clean it
U nailed it. That’s exactly what I have in mind. Had an extra one that came in boat👍. Thank you for watching
They should have given you the rod holders!!!!
Your welds look a heck of lot better than mine ever do, lol.
Like that a lot buddie
Thank you
Bad ass
If you need any aluminum welding done, I can do it for you. Rack looks real good, better than the pics I sent you of what I built. I should have used heavier aluminum
Hi. Thanks for showing what ya did. I just got my first boat. And all I fo is catfish. I hoping bti get in the cats this year. I was going to go the route of purchasing a rod rack but with how high the price is and me being able to do what you have done. Changing a few things. I'm going to mount onto the bracket for the lund sports track so I can take it off and on for winter storage. I have found a piece of aluminum. To get it shipped to my door and the size I need it to be. It is less than a 100 bucks. The size Size: 3 x 1.498 .258....6160 standard channel You had made a comment that the thickness of your was over kill. Is this adequate in thickness to make a rack out of or doni need to go larger for this piece. Thanks Tommy
Looks good and sturdy, wonder if an eighty pounder will make it wobble. I'd say it's ready to fish.
I hope I get to find out lol. Thanks for watching
Great video. I am really looking forward to how you do your windshield since I need to do something too.
I’m just using a piece of 1/4” lexan. It doesn’t fit perfect but it will work for now. Thanks for watching.
@@hagengrubbsfishing Thanks. Where do you purchase the Lexan? Does Lowes/Home Depot carry it?
Walt Edwards yes they have it at Lowe’s but it’s expensive. I had this piece given to me. It’s a little short but I’m going to make it work.
@@hagengrubbsfishing Thanks. Look forward to see how you attach it.
Nice build . I’m gonna borrow your idea if you don’t mind .
looks grate man i see you got that GARMIN on there over all looking grate i do all my own stuff as well just a suggestion id ditch that rubber mat on the floor as a catfish boat its going to hold everything we run the flat horse stall mats there a solid mat that way if you decide to put a wash down pump on the boat makes it easier to clean i think my wash down kit was $65 or $80 off amazon a 70psi kit easy to install and clean everything right there on the boat also grate for them hot days/nights a little cool water over your hands/arms always cools you down as dirty as things can get fishing there good to have on the boat
Thanks for watching and thanks for the advice👍
@@hagengrubbsfishing you will love a wash down kit man
Cozzi wysong yes I’ve been thinking about it. I use a bucket now lol.
@@hagengrubbsfishing i use a bucket as a drift sock lol works
That goes for any if you guys that are friends with hagan
I wonder if harbor freight alumiweld would work for one of these?
I like watching your videos! Those rods are nice. The medium action will be great for a variety of catfish. I have a question. What is the model and length of your Monarc boat? I'm looking to buy a boat and I really like your new boat. It's not to big but plenty of room. I also live here in Kentucky. Thank you!
It is a little over 18’ and I believe it is 66” wide across the bottom. It’s a 1992 model and I believe the actual model is a 1800c. Thank you for watching👍
You did a great job!! Did you say that long piece of aluminum was already cut like that or did you have to cut that one side? If so how did you? Thanks. Enjoyed the video.
I cut the ends at an angle and rounded corners just to keep someone from ruining there day as they are waking by the boat lol. I just used a cut off wheel on an angle grinder and then rounded everything with a flap disk. Thanks for watching.
Not a bad set up you gonna add the lights and all that extra stuff ?
Kombatt Karl fishing oh yea
Nice job and nice video. On a side note, where did you find that big circle hook for your hat? I have a J hook one but have never seen a circle one on a hat. Thanks
I actually made it out of a coat hanger lol. I’ve been making a few..Thanks for watching.
Nice I made my own to. My question is about you bait board. I use a cutting board were do u get yours.
Just a big cutting board from Walmart and cut to size.
Which Monark boat is that? I've been looking for a decent boat to do some catfishing in that won't break the bank. Lol
Is that your shop.Nice.
It’s my dads shop. I keep my welders and tools there. Thanks for watching.
your rod holder very nice, do you make it or buy it sr, thanks
Monsterrodholders.com
Do a diy rod rack without having to weld
I might just do that. I have a good idea in mind for that
Hagen Grubbs Fishing that would be awesome because I want to build one for my jon boat that’s sturdy enough to pull a tube from and have rod holders but I don’t have access to a welder
Dylan Dickey if you have Facebook find me and I’ll draw out for you what I had in mind
How did you attach base plates to gunnel? Thanks!
I used 1/4 screws, it was supposed to be temporary until I got some rivet nuts but the screws are still holding fine. But I definitely would prefer the rivet nuts over the screws for long term. Thank you for watching👍
How much is the total cost parts ?
What are the snaps you use to fasten your sinkers on with called
Sinker slides. I get them on amazon and there cheap.
Thanks alot
I like these because the plastic normally breaks before your line if the sinker gets snagged. ICE SEA 25-50pcs Fishing Line Sinker Slide with Duo-Lock Snap Blue High-Strength Sinker Slider Stainless Steel Snap Kit (Black, 25pcs) www.amazon.com/dp/B07544XQ1V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_g8hrEbE4R2Y1Q
Bro you forgot the blue lights ......
reel life they will be on there soon lol. Thanks for watching
Yeah brother got to have lights . Lol keep up the videos . Hope your family is doing good .
So what parts were aluminum and what parts steel
The piece of channel that the rod holders are on is the only aluminum part. The rest is steel. Thank you for watching
What are the angles of the rod holders you ordered?
33/45 thanks for watching
Thank you!!
