Fly Rod Tube Stand

If you look real close, you'll notice this is an umbrella stand...repurposed to hold fly rod tubes. It arrived last week. I've been searching for ways to organize rod tubes and went through the usual alternatives: such as buy a custom built cabinet, build my own stand, plus other crate alternatives. Then I came across this new umbrella stand on Ebay for $50 that has a nine hole square grid on top with a drip pan on bottom. I thought it was a perfect solution for me...instant tube holder that was a cheap solution with no sweat equity. It turned out better than hoped and does the job just fine. It's a winner!
