DIY Fishing Pole Cover
Protect your gear with this simple Fishing Pole Cover made from a pool noodle.

Our son has invested money into his fishing poles and tackle. He is very proud of what he has and wants to keep it nice. Keep your RV nice with roasting fork covers.
We created this DIY Fishing Pole Cover for him. Yes, with the bright noodles, they look like lightsabers!

I have to admit it. I am not a big fan of fishing. Hanging out at the edge of the water is great, but I do not want to touch fish, and I only seem to snag things, weeds, or trash.
If I fished with more consistency, I would probably get better.
I bought a fishing license this year, so maybe I will get better.
On the other hand, our son enjoys fishing and always seems to catch something. He is a catch-and-release type of guy, so he is never worried about the size of the fish that he snags.

He is concerned about keeping his fishing poles nice and stopping others from messing with his fishing gear.
When he joins us on camping trips, he spends a lot of time fishing. This homemade cooler cover keeps your drinks cool longer while you are fishing.
He will bring a few poles with him, but there is not much room in our car. His poles are kept at the foot of the backseat passengers.
We did not want either of the kids to get poked by the hook, so we made these covers. These covers would also protect a homemade fishing pole.
DIY Fishing Pole Cover
This simple project takes just a few minutes to complete. Because pool noodles are so cheap, it is a very inexpensive solution to keeping your fishing poles safe.
This project is not safe for little hands, but it does prevent kids from getting poked with a fishing hook.
Just slip off the fishing pole cover when you leave your fishing spot.
More Fishing Pole Hacks
Here are a few hacks that others have come up with.
Fishing Lure Case
Shelly came up with this fantastic idea for securing a lure. She stores a lure in a prescription pill container. How clever is that? This hack would work well with these pool noodle fishing pole covers.

Fishing Rod RV Storage
Dale added bungy cording to the underside of his RV’s storage area for fishing poles. This not only keeps the poles protected but also makes great use of space.

Even though I did not catch anything besides a plastic bag, I hope to get out and fish with my son again soon.

LOVE it. I am going to the Dollar store tomorrow to buy a noodle or two. Great idea and use different colors to differentiate the type of pole.
Pool noodles have so many great uses!! Happy fishing!
thanks for the idea I will be using to place all rod in so I can keep them in back of my truck without getting damage from my fishing chair hitting them.
Happy fishing!
This is SO cute – we have a ton of fishing poles everywhere in our garage so I’m going to show this to my husband and son!
Nice!
I love this idea! Totally picking up a few pool noodles from the dollar store to protect the fishing poles we have.
They are so versatile!
Such a clever idea and frugal too. Love it! I’m with you, fishing isn’t my thing but I do love to eat them! So glad you shared this smart idea with us at Merry Monday. Hope to see you back next week. Sharing.
Thanks, Shirley!
That’s brilliant! Also if you were bringing them along in a boat and they got knocked overboard they would float!
YES!!!! I will add that to the post.
What a great and inexpensive way to protect your expensive fishing equipment. They get broken so easily.
Thank you!
What a great idea for a fishing pole cover – nice, easy, and wallet-friendly protection for your pole!
Yes!
