I thought about the tube idea as well....but only for the Misses to sit in so i can have 4 extra pots. Good idea just creates a bit more drag and you notice it on longer paddles.

I've got a Profish (link below) for Christmas and it has plenty of room to swing a cat and store everything. I just use the rectangular collapsible and have them stacked on the front. As long as i have the bait bags ready its quite easy to set them up.
