Storing rods inside Kayak hull during launch

[SoCalEDC]

Anyone successfully do this in an outback, and still able to retrieve the rods when on the water? It was no big deal in my last yak cause of the rod pod, but on Saturday I put the rods in the hull on my outback (through the front hatch) in preparation for Sundays launch (which didn't pan out unfortunately), but I was concerned I wouldn't be able to get them out once I was out on the water. I have only surf launched a couple of times, so I'm not 100% comfortable with leaving my rods out as I don't want to break them if the kayak is tossed over and they're stuck in a rod holder.

Thanks in advance guys.
