I have a question about my Hobie Live Well. I Noticed some members w/ 5 rod holders on their Live well? and some with only 3 like mine. Did you guys add aftermarket holders or does it come optional 3 or 5 from Hobie??

Comes standard with 3 but you can easily add two more yourself, there is a place for them.

my 4th and 5th are black PVC. Heat up one end with a heat gun and shove a wine bottle in to make the flange. Dremal out a notch for the reel... as good as the hobie one for about $1

All mine are black pvc with the flange melted like this. Never had a problem and super cheap, buuuuut if you are gonna own a $350 live well , I'd opt for the legit hobie tubes, just for resale purposes. Vittles vault tank? Yer gettin pvc
