I dunno about stowing the rods in the hull, but there is another way. If your afraid of loosing the stuff, just take your reels off and put the into your hull. Then take your rods and strap them to the side of your kayak. There is little grooves for the paddle on both side that works perfect for a few rods on all hobies. I've done it a time or two and it works out perfect.
