I know this has been talked about some. I am thinking on getting some rod sleeves. I have seen the post "8' Rod in a 719???" from bassinbama. They look great. More than any thing every one seems to say its easier to get your rods in an out of the lockers with them. No snaggin up. Well my question is has any one decided to take out the rod tubes and leave the rod butt holders in. I tseems it would work out. Reason why I am thinking of doin this is it seems hard to get the rods in and out with my dual console. Without it its much easier. So will the rod sleeves make it worth leaving the tubes in? Thanks
