I finally got tired of all the shortcomings of my best efforts to keep organized & haul my tip ups onto the ice. I made this contraption a couple of weeks ago.

All 6 pieces of 4" PVC pipe are rivetted together and stand up without any additional support.

Could your poles fit in them?

I just got some of the new Jason Mitchell Walleye rods and the reels have a nice feature on the handles. They have a quick release so the handles fold in when putting them away. I also now rap my line around the poles and secure the lure with a lure secure and now my rods stay tangle free.

For the bottom of the tubes to keep the tip-ups from falling out, I used a number of ideas b/c I wasn't keen on any one of them in particular
  1.  Copper wire criss-crossed
  2. 1/2" Webbing
  3   Cut Plastic
