I was curious as to how rod storage is in a tarpon 160. Can I store a 8-9' rod away for beach launching and take outs?

Gracias

Nobody knows? I launch from a non friendly launch and am looking for something I can put my rig in that paddles well....without getting wet to do it.

Look at the New Threshers from Wilderness. Below deck rod storage and good in the surf. Awesome f/f mounting. My 9 foot rods fit.

I have the Tarpon140 and I strap all rods (usually 4) all together. The rod butts I put just under my thigh (not quite sitting on them) and the tips go toward the bow. I have a bungee cord I used (or the bow cords) to strap them down to bow. :paddleersmilie::paddleersmilie::paddleersmilie: Get out about 100 yards and put them all in the rod holders with leashes.

My 9' rod extends past the bow a foot or so.

I land the same way - all strapped together.

Rods won't fit inside on my hull.

I have a Tarpon 160i and yes you can store rods in the 8 ft range inside!
