Nice setup Matt. You can mount some strut above your slat board. Fasten 2 pieces to the wall about 6 ft. apart. They come in 10 ft. Lengths. Support other end from rafters with bolt rod 5ft. Lenghts. They make joining nuts if you need them longer. Then you can lay rods across the supports , put the but handles on 1 support and some foam on the top of othe so shafts don't scratch.
Order a full 4 ft X 8 ft sheet of black lexan in 3/8 thick and drill all four corners and build a pulley operated lowering system. Put rods on top with Velcro straps and maybe hooks on the bottom for rod's you regularly get down for use. Love the material you used for framing up your garage, I hope to have the same size shop soon! With a Bass Cat sitting in there!
Thanks Matt, for the Man Cave tour!!! Like how you have it set up. Nice wrap on the boat. Nice to see a hometown boy make it to the Big Leagues and enjoy what he does!!! Will be cheering you even though you move to Tennessee!!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!!
Nice setup Matt! If you can spare slat wall space, I lay some of my rods across the hooks with the slats being spaced about every 6 inches you can quite a few in a 8 foot layout vertically. Good luck this year.
Nice shop!!!! Where’s the recliner? Concerning rod storage you should consider utilizing the ceiling space above the boat. A simple PVC rack on a pulley system has been used by many fanatics like us!!!! Looks good as well…
Nice shop Matt I have something similar without that great wall of Yamamoto. I need to add the fans and minisplit a must. For a rod rack, I suggest a heavy duty rolling cart system you can move boatside. Good Luck 👍
Beautiful! Congrats. Looking good and getting organized. Maybe suspend your rods just above your head by the baits. Hang some coated braided cable down in for corners that attach to thin wood strips parallel to the wall. Kinda like a suspended thin shelf that you can reach. 👍
If you’re looking for a quick way of storing rods for the summer season Joes tackle unlimited in west newton is closing and he’s selling all of his rod racks. Might not be exactly what you want but you could get organized while coming up with something better down the road
Don’t underestimate the power of that mini split. When I’m A/C mode it acts as a dehumidifier (better than the actual “dry” mode) and it literally sucks the water out of the carpet and the boat is dry in no time! Fans are nice but that mini split will cut dry time in half!!
looks great i like it. as for the rod storage have you thought about putting them in the middle in line with your drain of you your barn in a straight line rod rack the would stand up and only be about 12" wide going the length of your man cave. this may be an option.
I have thought about it, and that may be the best option, but I was hoping to keep it more open, rather than creating a “wall” of rods. I guess I can try it and see how it works!
The shop looks great Matt. The slat wall makes organizing fun and a real time saver when preparing to go on the road. As far as the rod organization, that is a tough one because you need to have access to them . I store mine hanging from the ceiling with 1x4s that I cut slots and holes in. Perhaps with the high ceilings you have there you could build a deck above your work bench about 8x12 the same height as the shelving unit and you could hang rods from that and also use the top for storage.
looking good. My rod storage is right above my boat on hooks (from the rafters). i have about 25 rods right above the boat, but of course my garage has a very low ceiling so I can stand up in the boat and reach the rods above me. For you to do that you would have to build a rack or something that came down from that high ceiling you have, which also might limit you from parking high clearance items in the garage as well. But it sure is functional to reach up and pull any rod you want down and they are always out of the way up there as well.
I am curious about the garage. What brand? How is it insulated? Is the insulation hood? How big is the split unit (hvac)? How tall is garage? Lots of questions sorry.
I ordered it direct from Tennessee Steel buildings… they insulated it with sheets of “foiled” double bubble insulation, so far it’s been great! 12’ tall with 10’ doors. I got the 24k BTU mini split, so far it’s had no problem keeping it warm in there!
@@MattBeckerFishing Thanks for the quick reply. I've often wondered about the zero to hero process of tournament anglers. Its obvious there is a lot of time and money invested in the sport. Just found your channel and subscribed. Good luck in the coming season.

That’s a good idea! That’s probably the route to go

Thank you sir!! That’s what I’m thinking, I’m going to have to hang something down from the rafters. I’ll have an updated video once I figure it out!
Cut bottom out of 5 gal bucket then screw it to wall to store rods in. Works Great
Good idea!

I think that’s gonna be the route to go! Thanks for the help!

Much deserved Matt, best of luck this year, keep it rolling!!
Thank you sir!!
How about just use some of your slat wall and lay the rods on the wall pegs like you did the live scope Mount? I’m sure that would work great
That’s what I was thinking but I’m running out of room!!
Jelly!
I love it!
Totally awesome
Thank ya!
I would be spending all day in there I would even be ok with sleeping in there.
I’m with you!!
CHECK out MDJ's rolling rod racks
I’ll do that!!
shop looks great
Thank ya!!
Seen someones rod storage system and he had cup hooks screwed in wood strip. He hung them vertically from the rod sleeves that have a loop in the end.
Smart! I’ll have to look into that
Yep guy below said what I was going say
Thanks for watching 👊
Looks great bro!
Thanks buddy!! I’m so happy with it!!
Awesome video!!
You know it!
nice setup man!
Thank you sir!
The fans are a great idea!
They are a must!
Awesome idea 💡

Garage door racks
Smart!
Great shop! What is the building manufacture?
TN steel building
Hey Matt could you please tell me where you got your black slat wall sheets at? Thanks
I actually ordered it from Home Depot!
How did you get mud high on your garage door in front off your boat? 😂
🤣 I believe that was from the ground before they were installed
Just curious. I see a lot of pros have a wall of lures. Are these sponsored donations or your own purchases.
Most of this stuff was purchased!

Impressive how neat and clean you keep your the tackle and boat showroom.
You gotta stay organized!!
