If the rack is installed in a position to support the butt of the rods just where it goes into the cork handle , the rod will balance & would not tip. My concern is that if the handle is supprted , the soft cork may develop compression marks that you can feel in your hand when casting the rod but I guess if I use 3/4" seaboard & round over the edges it's unlikely that it would be an issue.
