Fishing Rod Holder

This is a simple mounting bracket I came up with to hold fishing rods up and out of the way in my Rivian R1S.  I use coat hanger hooks by @raylepper to hold the front of the rods and then this mount holds the reel side.  The features I was going for:

• I wanted a way to keep them up and out of the way.
  • The upper mount location matches the grab handle height so the rod rests level.
  • The lower mount location is low enough that a long handle on a rod will rest below the headliner in the rear (near the back window).
• I wanted the option to store full rods without having to break them down.
  • The picture shows my 8.5 foot long fly rod as an example for the length it can support, though the tip does bend down and rest on the front windshield.
• I wanted to easily transport up to 4 rods.  Using one of these on each side does that.
• Small hooks let you use rubber bands or hair ties or something to hold the rods in place.

It does hang entirely from the headliner, so I wouldn't put too much weight on these, but a couple fishing poles seems perfectly fine.

Printing

• I suggest a high-heat-resistant material like ASA.  I'm currently testing with PETG, but I know from experience that if this sits in a hot car the PETG will eventually deform with the weight.  If the hooks deform it'll likely just fall off the headliner.
• Any nozzle/layer height you want.  I used 0.4mm nozzle/0.20 layers.
• Perimeters: 4+
  • Make sure it's nearly solid.
