I started out with a five gallon with notches in the top to hold the rods filled half way up with water, after they fell over the third time I bought real rod holders. then more poles, more electronics , then another boat more poles then rod racks , more electronics. Now I only need a set of trolling rods but I have been no more fishing stuff until i get rid of something so I'm waiting for her to forget she said that. In other words just start small let it grow into a empire of fishing artillery
