Horizontal rod rack for boat?

Looking for any ideas for a horizontal rod rack to hold my 10-12 ft crappie jig poles in my bass boat. Want it removable when not chasing crappie. Only looking to hold 3-4 jig poles. Tried strapping on deck but with rods being so long the tips get tangled. Someone said Driftmaster makes one but having a dual console kind of limits where I can place in my boat.

Here is a photo of what I use on my boat. Couldn't bear to drill a hole in it. It is 1 1/2 PVC pipe. I use 12', 9', and 5' rods and normally don't have issue with tangling. There is about 12" between each rod holder. Maybe this help you

FYI...I have been using this same contraption for about 10 years and never had any breaks or issues with it.

Here's my driftmaster setup. I opted for the scotty bases over theirs because of the locking collar on the Scotty's and I really like the ability to change the angle relative to boat position without need for tools.

Rig

I like this rig and the boy and the cars.
