What do you guys use to keep your gear safe at night, while you're parked and away from the boat, etc?
My boat has locks on the two compartments I'm worried about, but with well over a grand in tackle I'd rather be safe than sorry.
I was thinking about buying an extendable cargo bar, and pinning it to each inside wall of the boat over my rodlocker and main tackle compartment. Then I could drill a hole once extended, and throw a padlock on it. That way any thief will have to smash that thing out with a hammer, and then worry about breaking my locks :lol:

Anyone have any other tips? I'm looking to keep it cheap and simple.
