2500 rod lockers... how usable are they?

Curious for those who have put rods in them how well that works out, how many are you able to store in one and any other info you can provide would be appreciated.  They definitely dont look as rod friendly as say a 24  TRS.

There are 2 rod tubes in each locker(port and starboard forward lockers). You will only be able to put 2 rods in each total. Under gunnel each side 2 more rods. 8 total in console. I have a 4 rod rack behind my leaning post seat. If you have a T-Top there will be more storage there as well.

Thanks TT.  Have you tried to put more than that in either location?  I know there are only 2 tubes in the lockers but in a previously owned hewes with the under gunnel storage Id put 2 rods into 1 tube hanging on the same rack slot in the rack, so it was capable of 4 rods in each locker minimum.

That can most likely be done. I never do. Between my console rod holders and the 4 behind my seat that's 12 rods. If I need more than that it's only 1-2 more total. The rod locker usually ends up holding my Goliath rod just to keep it out of the way until needed.
