[#0000FF]As far as the float tube, why not just pack it deflated and then pump it up when you get there? I have made many a trip with the tube flat.
As for the rod holders, you can go into the boating section of Sportsmans or Cabelas and find two or three rod holders designed for boats. I have lashed them onto tubes before. They work...not as well as my custom designed PVC holders...but they work.
Here's a chapter from my tubing book. Copy it if you want it. I will remove it from this post in a day or so. But anyone who wants a copy can PM me.
By the way, Home Depot has inexpensive nylon straps with metal cinching heads. I use a pair ot them to tie down my inflated tube on top of my Blazer when I need more room inside.
