We have discussed this a few times but I thought I’d share what I did. I fish with a tournament partner most of the time and its been an issue with his rods. He brings more than 2 so the velcro strap that came with the boat wasn’t long enough. I tried adding a velcro extension but it seemed like a pain.
So, I added a boat buckle retractable strap. One of the pics has seven rods strapped in.
