Show me you're fishing pole bumpers!! I'm going to make one shortly here, just interested to see what you guys have done. Maybe someone will surprise me and not use PVC like i'm going to haha

 

my grandfarther used stainless steel flag poles... with caps on the bottom... i wish i had a picture to show you...it was just mounted to a wooden bumper tho...

 

I'm tempted to use PVC simply because of how easy and cheap it is but it has to look good. Also trying to think of how to incorporate it into a stylish bumper. I'm all over the place.

 

make a bumper that you like, with a hitch on the front. then just make a plug to go into the hitch recever. then you could even make it stick out more so your farther from the water, or you could make a bench. oh the options......

 

X2, I like his mode of thinking. Nothing permanent, but options out the *** with this method!!!

 

Ive seen some that run up the hood, over the wind shield at an angle....
Might try that too

 

Oh, I thought it read fisting bumpers, sorry.

 

Make or buy one with a front receiver then make your own rod/cooler rack.
Here's the one I made.

 

^ ^ oh that is cool! Nice work!!

Now I have some ideas

 

I have a front receiver on my winch bumper and I have an aluminum rod holder that slides in the front.
