Looking for ideas to build a wall mounted rod/reel holder that will hold 25+ rod/reels. I'm thinking the rod/reel rack will need to be so the rod/reels will be able to stand up vertically. Any pictures or thoughts on what you have done would be appreciated.

This is not home built but it is one of the best ways I have stored rods.

Without knowing what king of rods, the simplest would be to take a pair of 2"x4"x16' long (you need to space offshore reels - Penn 70's or 50W's 8" apart (center to center), while Avet MX's will do with 6") and attach 1-1/2" pvc cut to 11" long lengths. It is a pretty simple design, which is then bolted to the wall. I have the same design in cube form, that holds 24 offshore rods & reels in a 38" long x 20" wide rectangle (6 per row), and a second that holds 20 inshore rods in a 24" x 16" rectangle (5 per row).

Ran a 1 X 4 across the wall, screwed to the studs, screwed rodholders to the 1 X 4. Since this picture was taken, I have upgraded to Penn 330LD reels that will not fit in the 3 rod rodholders. I took down the 3 rod rodholders and have replaced them with AFI single rod rodholders spaced further apart.

That was exactly what I suggested, using individual 1.5" pvc pipe cut to 11" instead of the pre-made units. You get 10 rod holders out of a single 10' pipe that sells for $4, vs. $7 each for the AFI's. To make mine more rod friendly, I rout the inside lip of the sections with a 1/8"r router bit, then drill two 3/8" holes one 2" from the bottom and the second 1.5" from the top on one side, and then through those holes a rcess with that 3/8" bit and then a 3/16" hole for the screws.
