funny I leave the rods in the holders too. I also much prefer the horizontal rod holders in the port and starboard holders. if you read Charlie's book he says always hold the rods so to each his own . I need to drive the boat and fish 3 rods at once most times so that isn't going to happen. I very rarely miss any fish once they find the tube. I do really well fishing fresh sand eels on the tubes too. IMO I don't think the fish hit the tube very often, although I talked to a Montauk charter capt once and he told me they don't use anything but the bare tube so until a camera is mounted on the tube i really don't know what is going on down there but they certainly work, especially on large fish. IMO if you are obsessed with catching a big fish this would be my best advise to use, other than live bait.
