Using ball valves to retain the rods is genius!

Using ball valves to retain the rods is genius!

He’s got me thinking you could put the ball valves down towards the bottom to act as a stop for pro shot rods. You could keep the rods enclosed for travel and have the handles out for use.

Yes, 1/2 cpvc.

I wish I had put a tee in the middle I case I ever want to use 3 rods.

Will a rod go thru a tee, or would you need a cross?

Thanks Dusty, I meant a cross.

 

[Dusty Stevens]

Thanks Dusty, I meant a cross.

You gotta have a tall ceiling and a step ladder for that one?

Lol, i was taking a pic of the connection to remind me to make one .... It's normal length/size as the ss ones pictured in this thread.
A screw on back side holds it on

I use one of these for my RFBR rods and really like it, had one in the back of the pickup for a couple years as that's where I kept most of the "stuff" needed for this game (didn't have to load/unload everything after matches). NO damage to the rods or the rod box. Be careful about the really really long rods, they won't fit. Don't ask how I know this. Well worth the $$ for rod protection when traveling.

Years ago I bought one of these Cleaning cradle it was great when I was the only competitor in the family, but you can't fit two rifles on a single cradle so I built a duel cradle.
But I still have the single cleaning cradle, I took the cleaning rod tubes out of it and made 2 connectors and use that for transporting my cleaning rods most of the time.

Here is a pic with the dual cleaning cradle showing the cleaning rods, the tubes from the hood cleaning cradle are used for transport and at the shoot both cleaning rods are located in the tubes between the rifles.
