Rod and tackle storage question
What do y'all think? What is the magic temperature not to go over? |

well I take everything out and put it in a open rod closet I made for them out of 2x2 frame and 1/2" plywood sides top and bottom.
the trolling motor sits in a wooden 2x6 caddy in the middle and the rods stand up with the tips sticking through 1 1/2" holes drilled in the plywood top so nothing falls over and everything stays where you put it. I have fresh water rods on one side and saltwater rods on the other. I find leaving stuff in the boat gets messy with mold and mildew or plastics melting into corks and such. it also lets me take what style and type rods I need for how im fishing that day so I don't have rods banging around in the boat im not using. if hes got stuff like bait bags or organizers that keep everything separate then I guess its ok to leave in the boat since it wont be any hotter then in your garage but the mold and mildew is a concern with anything left in the boat all the time. |

I have two Rubbermaid totes. One is freshwater gear and one saltwater. I keep everything in a a spare closet, rods included. This also makes it easy if I want to go fishing with someone else. At the last minute you can grab a tote and go.

i live in a "beach" house on pilings with a enclosed bottom. i hang my rods overhead on j hooks. they are directly under the bedroom and are some what climate controlled by the transmitted heat/cool from the floor above. 17 yrs like this with no problem. my neighbor does the same thing only his lower floor is opened to the weather. walled, but not insulated. his stuff gets condensation and mold/mildew. i never take the trolling motor off the boat.
