fish-on Posted June 8 Report Share Posted June 8 I have a 4 rod Rac A Rod holder and the foam insert needs replacement. Has anyone replaced the foam? If so, what type of foam and where did you get it? Seems to be a stiffer foam...not too sure where to look. Thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick S Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 Maybe you can try cutting it out of a "pool noodle". You can get them at the dollar store, five below etc Richizzzle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BernOC Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 I had gotten the 2 rod foam holder replacement years ago for the older rod rack from "the surfcaster". Perhaps contact them what might be a good substitute as I don't believe they don't carry it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob59 Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 What your looking for is polyethylene foam you can Google it and find what size you need by measuring the existing pieces and cutting it to size using one of those cheap box cutters with the blades you can break off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrappieAttitude Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 Or check with a shop the reupholster’s furniture - they might have firmer foam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sams Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 I happen to have some pretty fancy stuff that might work well in that application. Its meant for vibration isolation, so it is designed not to compression set over time like most foams will. If you PM me the general dimensions and your address I'll see if there is a cut off that will work for you. sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
