How many rod/reels are you guys able to fit into the rod pod of the T13 comfortably?

The rear tank well has that somewhat unique configuration -- with those molded tabs about 1/3 way in. How do you like that design? Does it make reaching into the baitwell and grabbing those little fish any more difficult considering it's a little farther away from the seat, or give you any issues with how you want to arrange things in the tank well?

i fit 4 - 8' rods under the seat towards the back while surf landing and launching. i've also fit 4 good sized halibut (not with the rods...) in through the rod pod well. the molded tabs are to hold a plano box perfectly... i had no problems reaching the bait tank, though i often used a little bait net, it wasn't because i couldn't reach it. i've also cut out the shape of those tabs in a milk crate which locked in the milk crate more forward to the seat. honestly, you'll have plenty of room for wheels, or ice chest, or better yet, fish...

you can always check one out at oex...
