when I was young ,didn't have a problem with storing, was lucky if had a rod and a bait or at most 2 baits,had to make my own, and from today's standard they look terrible,but caught a few fish, My how things have change,we have so much have to pull another boat behind your boat for equipment ,or like me when wife is not with me to keep me and boat straight, then I am stumming over half of it,have gotten a little better to keep from hearing her correct me,LOL, Don and Vic keeps theirs spotless, I don't know what that word mean, unless it means ,one spot less than it was last time
