long pole storage

Here's a cheap tip on carrying the long poles over the road. A guy from the LA board uses a rope the length of the boat tied to the bow and stern with moderate tension. He then uses velcro straps to tie the rods to the rope, taking strain off the rods and preventing them from bouncing out.

That would sure work.

I use foam pipe insulation around the tip ends for about 6', rod wraps and then tie it off a each end. The foam protects the ends, and makes it easy to carry. I do fout rods to a side. Doesn't take as much time as you'd think.

Not sure? I asked the lady who answered the phone about a custom length and she put him on the line. Mine are like 9 inches tall!!!
