I stap my rods right behind the reels over the handle so I can slide them out without having to undo it, and I have kicked them accidentally and they did not go anywhere

I too always strap my rods down. There have been several times that I would have kicked them overboard if they had not been strapped.

But, I only keep the one Im using plus maybe a couple more actually on the deck. If I have more rods out of the locker I stow them in the holders by the passenger seat. If I have a partner Ill adjust accordingly. Never liked, or had a need for, having 8-10 rods out on the deck at one time. At 55, I need plenty of balance room.

None are strapped. I keep the tips off to the side of the boat. Only have 2 at a time on the deck. I am sure if one is kicked overboard I will start strapping them after I lose my mind and dive in trying to find it. Haha!

As soon as I walk to the front of the boat I unstrap my rods and dont strap them until I get ready to move again. I might be fishing a jig and schoolers show up and need that topwater in a hurry. Fishing a laydown and will work it with a jig, worm, crank or spinnerbait so I dont want to keep strapping and unstrapping rods. I have broken a rod in the past but never kicked one overboard.

Strapped when running only . — Gotta be ready to switch it up if you see an opportunity arise . — Ive figured out that the older I get , the more room I need for staying in an upright position anyway , so I only keep 3 rods on the deck . — Kinda sucks getting older , but it is what it is . — I havent FALLEN out of the boat ………… YET !! — Have had to sit down real quick a couple of times though to keep from it . — I just grin and go on . — Hoss

I find myself JUNK fishing a lot so I leave them unstrapped. I like to be able to switch up depending on what I see. My best days on the water are when I have one or two baits that are ON but day in and day out Im scrambling around trying stuff with 8 rods out!
