I had a rod pod, but rarely used it. Instead, I'd use the rod pod straps to secure both the pod cover and my fishing rods. Rods down in front of me during every landing.

I think the answer is very dependent on the type of kayak you have and rigging available. Some kayaks have inside the hull hatches where you can put the rods away.

In my case, I have a Cobra kayak which has a giant hatch into the hull. I am able to store all my gear and my rods inside. However recently I have been taking off the reels and putting them into a drybag before putting it inside the hull as it gets a little wet in there.(that's what she said)
