[cool]Hey Aaron, if you have a rod rack built, then tie it to your tube with good nylon rope, or use clips to hook it to the D rings on the outside of your craft. If you are launching and beaching in rough conditions, like surf, you can use a bungee cord or some stretch cord from a camping supply or military surplus store. I sometimes take a length of the elastic cord, run it across the rack and then pull it up over the reels while I am doing anything that might cause a rod to leap overboard.
If you want a diagram on how to put together your own rack, like the one in the pictures on my craft, PM me and I will send yo a diagram and help walk you through it. If worse comes to worse, you can just glue three tubes together in a line, using a "T" and a couple of elbows of PVC pipe. I tried to access my pics to post an old one, but couldn't get into the website. You can make a good one to lash onto your tube for less than $5.
