BTW, I realize that the tube as-is has limited (or non-existent) storage options. That said I used a lanyard to hang my tippet, floatant, whistle, nippers, hook file, and hemos. When on shore I used a small carabiner on the lanyard to hang my fins and net. On the tube, the gear bag/stuff sack was either over the shoulder and out of the way or the strap on it was around a leg and it was draped over one of the pontoons.
The leg/bag/hang worked well until you forgot it was there and stood up. Then the bag would go from a gear bag to a fabric bucket!
You can see in one photo where I taped on a pair of D-Rings to strap a spare rod to the boat. I think a simple strap of fabric and mating neodymium magnets would work pretty well for hanging a spare rod, however. I guess a slot to run a velcro strap through would be just as effective and less likely to pop open though conversely harder to strap a rod in or take it out.
