BigLew, any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Yes there is ample room for 9' flyrods to fit however the original teak rod racks where designed for spinning rods & they are too close to each other to support & balance the long flyrods. They are simply a piece of 4" x 3/4" teak with large holes bored through them & the holes don't even line up on a level plane to each other. They are screwed into a small recess in the liner wall stiffeners . They definetely need to be replaced with a better design & an additional unit needs to be installed further back towards the rear to balance the long flyrods properly. I have an idea of what is required & will fab some out of starboard or seaboard but its always wise to gather as much info/opinion from others before making a final decision on the design & needless to say, there is always room for improvement.
