MAH 449 Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 I don't get a lot of spare time to fish, so I'm always eager to find anything that makes it quicker and easier to to head off for a flick. Last year I bought a Castek Rod Caddy and I've found it an excellent bit of kit. It's a portable rod rack that holds 4 rods. It allows me to have a handful of rods, pre-rigged and ready to go. I know I can walk into my shed, grab the rod caddy and load it into the boot of the station wagon and just head off. When I get to where I'm fishing I sling my tackle bag over my shoulder, grab the esky in one hand and rod caddy in the other and walk to my fishing spot. As I walk along, there the rods stay completely separated, no rods knocking against each other and lines becoming tangled. When I get to my spot, place the rod caddy on the ground and the support legs come out. If I need to re-rig or re-bait I can stick it back into the caddy and have both hands free. When I get home, just leave the rods in the caddy and give everything a gentle rinse down, leave to dry then back into the shed for next trip. Definitely overkill if you only take a single rod, but I like to have few different rods with me so I have options when I do get a chance to fish. Not for everyone but I've found it very useful. I bought it off Amazon. Have seen them as high as $200, but selling at the moment for $155. Des, yellow door 1, Meppstas and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SurfcaztR 715 Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 Great idea,as i usually carry 3/4 rods on the day yes it can get messy.If the carrier works then the price doesn't matter.. Meppstas and HB tragic 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
