This is what I did to my jet sled. I put a smitty under it for ease of pulling.  I attached a couple of lightweight platforms so I could put the hub on top, but still be able to get at all the stuff underneath.  As far as rods go I just put them in a hard case.

Thank you.  I don't think I would change much if I build another one. Maybe aluminum plates to to mount the wheel for a weight savings.  The other thing where you could save weight is the smitty sled uprights.  I glued and stapled 1/4" ply to both sides so that the notch would not break out.  I mostly fish southern Colorado so I could of made the uprights not quite so tall.
