I have 4 14' 3 piece rods on the way and I have a 16' center console boat; the rods are almost as long as the boat!!! I've searched the main forum for solutions to my concern but haven't found anything that would work for me. The rod transport systems I've found are for boats with wide gunnels which I don't have. How can I transport without breaking the rods down? If there's not a good transport system and I have to break the rods down what's the best way to do this to avoid having to restring the rods? Do I just break them down and tie off to the top eye of the first section and go through the aggravation of threading them when I get to the lake? How do I protect the rods and keep them from tangling while going down the road?
