 How to Choose the Right Fishing Rod for Your Needs

For several reasons, fishing rod holders make fishing much more convenient. A primary use is as a kayak accessory, where it provides ample space for storage. If you want to fish with more than one rod or, if you really want to, with more than one paddle, a fishing rod holder is a great alternative to holding the rod between your knees.

Also, having a holder to keep the fishing rod steady as you go to different fishing places makes trolling much easier. Also, rod holders keep the rod from falling off while you unhook a fish. More importantly, they make a kayak appear multipurpose and incredibly well-designed while also assisting with increasing the number of fish caught.

To help you decide which fishing rods are right for you, we've compiled a few pointers.

Do you want to attach it or not?

There are two main varieties of fishing rod holders: those that attach to the kayak's exterior and those that fit flush with the deck. Both are effective in their own ways because of the unique roles they play. How and what one likes to employ ultimately determines the option.

To individuals who favor the single

There are two varieties of detached fishing rod holders:  straight and angled. It is the most common shape for kayaks. The rods divert away from the kayak when this type is employed; therefore, there's a considerable likelihood that you can stroll.

If you would rather have the attached

The straight kind is ideal for storing fishing rods since it allows the user to position the rod in the center of the kayak. For kayaks like the Tower and the Cobra Navigator, this straight kind of rod holder works well.

The homemade device for holding fishing rods

The same basic PVC material might be used to construct a one-of-a-kind fishing rod holder. Another option would be to use straps to secure a milk crate to a kayak, which would serve as an initial step.

One more option for fishing rods

Just above the kayak, you can use a different kind of rod holder. Typically, these are tubes referred to as RAM and Titelock. The latter, which often has a male and female component, locks the rod in position, as the name suggests. Separation of the two is made possible by this component difference. Typically, this sort of fishing rod is manufactured by Attwood, Scotty, and Roberts.
