On that note, has anyone "perfected" storing longer rods outside ofv the rod locker with any special mounts or ideas they would like to share. I remember Mike Winther had a."ram mount?" Mounted in front of the counsle (tuffy x190 that I saw up.at spring bay/The V in 07) on the ram mount was a sectioned rod holder that held a few rods out of the way with the rod tips pointing towards the back, angled just off the counsle. It appeared that even a rough water ride would keep the rods from bouncing around, getting tangled in each other. I like that idea for rods kept out, but secure.
I have a Modog's Running Rod Rack in my boat, and it solves a lot of hassle on the water from spot to spot, but it's certainly not the answer for storage/trailering. It obviously depends on your style of fishing, I like this set up because it doubles as a rear casting deck, and is nice to lean against while setting trolling spreads in rough water.
Otherwise, you can easily keep 2-3 longer rods strapped down on the port side, same with the front casting deck.
