Been kicking around the idea of installing a few PVC pipes into the front of the bow for rod storage.

Boat is 1982 Alumacraft Classic 16. Front deck sits about 6" above floor and is 4' long. Rod locker runs on left side from back of front deck to rear about 1' wide 7' long. Top of locker is hinged. Was thinking of shortening it and leaving front half of locker, installing PVC going under front deck. Anybody ever run tubes? Is it a pain with reels sticking out?

Usually have 2-3 ultralights and 4 walleye rods for trolling. Hate getting tangled. Thanks.
 
I am planning something similiar for current project. I plan to use gulf club tubes for the upper part of the rod.

Mine worked out pretty good. Used golf club tubes and rod savers.

I went with a vertical PVC set up. I prefer having my gear upright, rather than laying down, but it can be a little trickier slipping under limbs, bridges, etc....
