A Look at the Types of Fishing Rods

The holders used for retaining fishing rods get rid of the inconvenience from fishing for a variety of reasons. One reason is that it is good storage for the pole, especially when one is in a kayak. Rather than holding the paddle between your legs while you fish a fishing rod holder stores the rod in place allowing the person to carry multiple rods or even a few paddles.

Also, it makes trolling easier since the holder keeps position as the angler travels to many all the possible places and when unhooking a caught fish, rod holders keep the rod secure. Additionally they allow for catching multiple fish at once making the kayak look more versatile.

Following are some great tips that are going to be extremely helpful in helping you to determine the types of rods you should purchase.

To attach, or not to attach, that is the question. There are currently two types in the category of rod holders one of these can be attached on the outside of the boat and another model that can be placed in the flush. They both work differently and both respectively work well but as with all things, it depends on what the individual prefers.

To those who prefer the unattached: The unattached type of fishing rod holder comes in two forms, straight, and angled. And most kayaks making use of the angled form. When this type is used, one has a good chance of being able to stroll as the rods move away from the kayak.

If the person prefers the attached version: When the straight version is used the fishing rod can be left in the middle of the kayak and therefore works best for keeping the rod stored. This type of rod holder is perfect for the Tower and Cobra Navigator brand of kayak.

Rod holders made at home: A person could also design their own holder using common PVC. Or one could also start by getting themselves a milk crate and attaching it to a kayak with straps.

Fishing rod holder alternatives: An alternative of rod holder that can be put just above the kayak. These are usually tubes called RAM. As the latter's name implies, it provides a lock for the rod and has male and female parts. The part difference allows the two to be separated. Manufacturers that build this variation this variation are Attwood, Scotty and Roberts.
