That's a great idea Sal.  For those of us without a glue gun, I'll bet silicone caulk would also work for this.

I have been using Goop Contact Cement from Home Depot

I have not failed.  I just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

If you ever see the Shimano tackle trays on sale they have a radius on the bottom edges of the individual compartments. I have some of the small ones about 12x8 and it's very easy to get the screws out with the smooth sided compartments.

I use wire ties with screw downs that I get at Home Depot as hook keepers on my rods. I put them at the top of the reel seats.  They work great!

I have also used regular wire ties without the screwdown, and just ran the wire tie through a small silicone O-ring.

how to prevent CF dust when cutting to size, apply CAL's and clean after by wiping washing or blowing if you have an air compressor or DUSTER. and you don't have to grease them afterwards.  :)

Good one!...thanks for the tip, carbon dust that gets attached won't hurt there ;)
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Good Tip      BUT

Not all houses or apartments have Toilet Bowls with Tanks. Some of us have Flushometers.

Wouldn't a bucket under the sink do the same thing?

RowdyW

I don't know about your water but mine has so much chlorine in it that you can smell it across the kitchen. Removing the line to clean it is to much of a hassle. I would rather rinse it with a hose & replace it as needed. I haven't had a problem yet. Out in the Florida sun day after day washing it off the reel isn't worth the time. I just replace it as needed with new line or new top shot. It doesn't get all wet anyway like it would in the toilet. You could dunk it in a bucket of distilled water & agitate it a couple of times a day. The dirt will settle to the bottom before you have to dunk it again. To each his own way.

Because the idea has a lot of holes in it.
