I had the same issue with my Alweld on rod storage. I mounted a support mid ways along the gunnel. It can be removed or put down out the way. Just don’t in front my rear and front deck I mounted D-rings so when I lay my rods flat I can bungee them down. I’ll try and send you a picture because it took my a while to finally come up with something other than drilling like you mentioned. Nice video

Great set up. Your boat is sure set up nice, but I would definitely put the 3 rod holders tubes in for your fishing rods. Mainly before you break one and then also it's a lot cleaner look.

I agree with you. It is a cleaner setup. Check out my video that premieres today and see the rod setup I have chosen to go with. Thanks for watching!

I have rod sleeves for my poles. Not only does it help protect them, but keeps them from tangling with each other. If you don't want to drill into your boat maybe rod sleeves will be good enough for now.

@fishingistherapy 3 ай бұрын

That's a great idea. Do the rod sleeves tangle your line when you slide them on or does the hooks get stuck in the sleeves when your rods are already rigged?

I’ve got a Crestliner retriever 2070, it has holes cut for running rods up into the bow compartment. They work great I recommend it but if you cut holes yourself you might want to install sleeves up in there or the rods might be hard to slide out past the eyes. The holes in my bow have internal sleeves/tubes.

I’m with you on the holes. It hurts putting semi “permanent” mods in your boat. But, you’ll enjoy it that much more. Don’t overthink it. Just do it. I’m sure you’ll dig it but what’s the worst that can happen?
