How does this happen?

Those large Rubbermade containers are a fair option. They do not like the cold too well, severe cold you often crack them sooner then latter.

For under-seat storage of hats, gloves, stuff you do not want to risk getting wet you can get under shelf baskets at Wall mart. They are made from a sturdy wire frame and coated with rubber. You just slip the shelf on the bench seat and it rides under the bench. Handy and cheap. I equipped all my Fish Traps with them in the past. They accommodate 1-1 1/2" thick shelving well, any thicker you will need to modify them slightly, a bend here, a bend there, no big deal.

Although I gave up all that Tuper-tote'n stuff when I got my first Croxton Pond Ice Tote. They hold everything you need and then some.

Between the Croxton Tote and the Frabill Pack-A-Pole hard case I have all my rod storage needs covered, no matter what size rods they are. The Frabill case will accommodate 4 rod & Reel combo's, adjustable from 60" to 89.5" in length with a padded interior, has built in tackle/lure compartments, and has 4 security lock points.

They are both really versatile and tough ice pack options, very sweet! You have more overall storage with the Croxton Pond but the Frabill is built to take a Hummer diving over it and still protect the gear. A great option on the ice or in the boat or plain on long trips.

I purchased the cheap container by Sterlite snap on lid at Walmart, I was actually experimenting but it held up good last year good to the cold and wind with no probelm so far. I just purchased another rod holder Berkely pLastic and foam $7.00 for the other side due to many rods (Is there really such a thing?) I now can carry 8 fully rigged rods for any fish I choose to hunt slabs dont bite all day so time for eyes, my tackle, fish locater,heater,extra gloves hats etc.. and a small tupperware type container for my gloves wallet etc in the house under the seat.
And I still have lots of room. Someone know how to post pics?

Pies and Eyes for all.
Stay dry and on the fly if you find them they will bite..
