Tackle question

[GeoFisher]

never had this problem...you worry too much

My old tracker didn't have as good of rod lockers........and I DEFINITELY messed up the first couple loomis rods I had that way. My new boat, maybe not so much, but it is definitely a prob...just not always.

With a good water proof (not weather or water resistant) tarp it won't be a problem.I keep all of mine in my boat fiberglass cranking rods included & have never had a problem. If looking for something cheap for a waterproof tarp so you don'y have to worry google used bill board tarps. Very cheap alternative to hundreds of dollars for a top notch boat cover for storage in winter weather.
