styla 673 Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 Ive owned the same rod holders for yonks, did not think they could be used for anything more. Cheers Yellow door for the tips. Will now be using mine for baiting & rigging. Sick of leaning up against a bush & getting line tangled up in said bush while rebaiting. Make life so much easier, they say it takes another pair of eyes to see things differently, well done. yellow door 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not getting damaged ,by accidentally stepped on in the excitement . land fish, put rod in holder vertically, open bail arm , take fish off hook. yellow door 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah it was a pretty handy revelation to me i often have my rod tips pointed to the water or horizontal, so the right angle to use them back wards very rarely presented itself. I had to tilt them up a bit to get over some reeds and there it was Quote Link to post Share on other sites
