Fishing rod holders take the
inconvenience out of fishing for a variety of reasons. For one, it is a
convenient storage device especially when one is in a kayak. Rather than
holding the paddle in between the legs while fishing, a fishing rod holder
stores the rod in place therefore enabling anyone to carry multiple rods or (if
one insists so) carry multiple paddles. It also makes trolling easy as a holder
keeps the fishing rod in place as one travels to a number of fishing spots.
Also, when unhooking a caught fish, rod holders keep the rod secure. More
importantly, they help one catch more fish at the same time enabling a kayak
look versatile and extremely well-designed.
Here are some tips that could prove
helpful in order to determine the types of fishing rods one should
purchase.
To attach or to not attach
There are basically two types of fishing
rod holders, one that could be attached to the exterior of the kayak and one
that is put in the flush. Both have different functions and both work well
accordingly. The choice all depends on what one prefers to use and how.
To those who prefer the unattached
The unattached type of fishing rod holder
comes in two forms, the straight and the angled. Most kayaks use the angled
form. When this type is used, one has a good chance of being able to stroll
because the rods veer away from the kayak.
To those who prefer the attached
If the straight type is used, one is
able to keep the fishing rod in the middle of the kayak and therefore works
best in keeping the rod in storage. This straight type of fishing rod holder is
good for the Tower and Cobra Navigator model of a kayak.
The home-made fishing rod holder
One could just as make his or her very
own personalized fishing rod holder using common PVC. Or one could also start
out by getting a milk crate and attaching it to a kayak with the use of
straps.
The alternative type of fishing rod
There is another type of fishing rod
holder that could be placed just above the kayak. These are usually tubes that
are called RAM as well as Titelock. As the latter's name implies, it locks the
rod in place and usually consists of a male and a female part. This part
difference allows the two to be separated. Manufacturers that generally make
this type of fishing rod are Attwood, Scotty and Roberts.
