If you’re looking to free up space, protect your fishing gear, and keep your rods organized and accessible, the Dubro Fishing Trac-A-Rod rack is a smart solution. The video above walks you through the installation process—so whether you’re mounting it in your garage, boat house, or tackle room, you’ll have it done in no time.
Why Choose the Trac-A-Rod Rack?
Anglers often accumulate multiple rods for different techniques—spinner, crankbait, jigging, bait-casting, etc. Without proper storage, those rods can get tangled, damaged, or simply become a clutter hazard. The Trac-A-Rod rack from Dubro Fishing helps address these problems:
-
Securely holds rods horizontally or vertically, depending on your space and preference.
-
Easy to mount on ceilings, walls, or rafters.
-
Modular design: you can add as many sections as needed as your collection grows.
-
Keeps rods off the floor and safe from accidental kicks, entanglement, or damage.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Based on the video, here’s a breakdown of how to install your Trac-A-Rod rack:
-
Choose your location: Decide where you’ll mount the rack—garage wall, ceiling joists, boat house, etc. Ensure you have enough clearance for rod handles and reel spaces.
-
Locate the studs or rafters: For a secure installation, mount the brackets into solid wood or structural supports rather than just drywall.
-
Attach the bracket base: Align the mounting base of the Trac-A-Rod rack with the chosen support. Use appropriate screws (often included) and secure tightly.
-
Install the rack section: Slide the track pieces into place according to the modular design. Connect multiple sections if you have many rods.
-
Test the rack: Before loading rods, check stability by applying gentle pressure. Ensure the rack holds firm and the track moves smoothly if it’s a sliding version.
-
Load your rods: Insert rods into the rack, arranging by size or style. This provides clear access and prevents entanglement.
Pro Tips for Best Use
-
Label each rod slot if you have many rods—this helps when you’re in a hurry to grab the right one.
-
Leave a small gap between rods to avoid line guides getting tangled or scratched.
-
Periodically check the mounting hardware—vibrations (especially in a boat setup) can loosen screws over time.
-
Use the extra space saved to store reels, lures, or other tackle nearby for an efficient setup.

**INSTALLATION TIP: Start the set screws into the J-Hooks or Rings from their underside by hand prior to loading them into the trac. This will limit the amount of turns needed with the wrench once in the trac. View full instruction PDF here
