Baby Bass Hunter Boat?

[BasshunterJGH]

Just thinking about getting a baby bass hunter boat for small waters in my area just wondering about storage and how many rods it can hold. I have a lot of rods and I want to b able 2 take at least 6-8

I have a Sundolphin Sportsman and mounted this rod holder to mine - I got it at Bass Pro - it's designed to hold 4 rods but sometimes I put up to 6 in it - just becomes a little crowded.  I usually use it for my baitcasters cause they are one piece - my two piece spinning rods I lay on the floor of the boat.  Like you I like to take several rods as I sometimes don't know what I will fish for and have rods set up for different fishing. 

 

Hope this helps.

The holders are a good idea.  I'd say they are a necessity.  You definitely want to have something to secure the rods in place that you stow on the side decks. 

 

You are tempting Murphy's Law if you just sit them there.  Sooner or later, you'll have the unpleasant experience of losing one, or more over the side. 

 

You can safely stow two, or maybe four in a pinch beneath the seat, against the side of the boat.  Our daughter has one in a small pond behind her home, and I put one on each side with the reel end on the "floor" beneath the seat, and the tip on the foredeck.  They take up very little room and, unless you do something disastrous, they cannot fall over the side be cause you accidently brushed something against them.  Also easy to access.  Reach down, and grab it.

 

That takes care of three rods right there.  The one you are using, and the two beneath you.

 

That will still allow you plenty of room for a cooler, tackle box/bag on the bottom of the boat. 

 

Anything stowed on the side decks should be secured, or you risk losing it.

You will probably have to put holders in them if you want to have 6-8 rods with you..... other wise they might get in the way
