Or you could just take the reel off and throw them in a in your front hatch. Now your reels are safe and your rods. When the surf is really high I strap my rods to the side of my paddle slot, no where as nice as what you have going on, pretty cool.

Lately this is what I do. I pack light so taking a reel off 2-3 rods and safely stowing in a dry bag BEATS cleaning those reels. The sandy water is brutal. Grains of sand from micro to small aren't good in the gears.
