Well I have fished with enough guys to see a custom rod is worth it, so I got one of my own now. I know they are spendy but so are the mass produced ones. I ordered a Kichler Custom Rod I got a black ice that is ready to handle the light jigs I use. I might change the jig I put on it but gold is @eyeguy 54 go too and he can put some fish on the ice. From what seen this custom rod is much more sensitive than my snitch, so I will report back once I hit the ice.

How do you deal with a boat storage compartment that doesn't fit your rods?
AaronTC05 posted a question in Equipment-Expert Information - MN
I have a Lund 1650 side console with two long storage compartments. Up until recently I've fished with mainly 6' rods but have recently bought a few 6'6" rods which no longer fit. The rods I bought don't break down in half either. What kinds of workarounds do people use in this situation? I like the idea of having a locking compartment for my rods, but maybe some sort of exterior mounting bracket would work. I can fit the rods in the compartment by bending them a bit at the end when inserting, but I'm thinking that will weaken the rods over time and risk snapping an end off. Thoughts? Do I need to buy a bigger boat?
