Drop a PVC Y-Tee or two over your seat pedestal and you have a great place to put a rod while you re-tie or leave a minnow drifting while you cast. I often leave a Kentucky Rig with minnows hanging down while I fish a jig.

If you do two, put a short piece of pipe between them and set them at a slight angle to each other so you can put one pole down while picking up the other.
