Location: Frankfort, IL | I am looking at getting a new boat but have found that most boats offer rod storage for 8' and shorter rods. Most of my rods are 8' - 8'6" 1 pc rods. Where does everyone transport the rods when traveling to the lake and on the water? Do any manufacturers custom build larger storage lockers to accomodate these rods? FYI .. looking at 18-19' boat max.
Thanks,
Ken |

Location: Elko - Lake Vermilion | Ya, Rod saver straps are a must have.
I lost a $300.00 rod and reel set up about 3yrs. ago out on rough water and almost started crying.
The next day I installed the straps for less than $15.00 |
