float tube rod rack?!

Not sure where to post this, so if the mods need to move this, please do.
Having just completed the purchase of my third very nice rod n reel set up, I was wondering if any fellow float tubers had any suggestions or home-made remedies for carrying rods on your float tube. I absolutely hate the idea of one of my setups sinking 20 or more feet to the bottom of a lake, but I enjoy taking 2-3 rods with me so I can quickly and easily change up tactics as the day progresses. I own a fish cat 4, and while I saw an accessory for it on Cabelas site, I didn't like how it sat on the water. I am thinking or rigging something on the side of my tube. setting them behind me or across my lap on the from has worked so far, but there have been a few close calls saved by a quick reflex! Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I know Bossman has a nice set up on his float tube, not sure what brand but it works great for him. He has 3-4 rods at a time. Maybe he'll chime in and give ya the scoop....

LOL! Ya, I need to brush up on my Macgyver skills too! Thanks, that youtube video helped. Think I will try the pvc type one. Might look into turning those holders on a slight angle to keep those rods a little more out of the way! I swear I saw that cabelas one for around 30-40 bucks last year. now it sells for 90!!! Will probably attempt both versions. The goal is going to be balancing it whiletrying to keep the rods a little more towards the back of the tube, yet still easily accessible.
After this, will probably work on some sort of floating livewell. Theres also a sweet looking one made by some guys in Ohio on youtube.
Also seen a small tube and mount for a little trolling motor. Thats also on the list! It would help for windy days, but its more for my dad so he can be out there all day with us.
