Boat Rod

Boat Rod

Every angler has at some point wished for a third hand, when trying to multi-task or simply to give an arm a break. This is where rod rests really come in handy. Fishing with static baits typically involves holding a position for long periods of time, and the rod can become cumbersome. A little break can also help when trying to open a beverage, ruffle through the tackle box, etc. Just putting the rod on the ground or the bottom of a boat will likely tangle up the line and if that should be the moment a fish decides to bite, say farewell to fish and rig. A rod holder is a place to stash the rod while the bait is still submerged.

There are many types of pre-made rod holders for different applications. A bankstick has adjustable heads and is ideal when using a bait alarm, as is a buzzer bar, but when fishing from a bank too hard or rocky to drive in a pole or wedge, a rod pod really comes in handy. It may be the only way to use a rod holder on tough terrain. However, these tripods are not ideal for windy weather as they can be easily blown over. For boats, rail mount and clamp-on holders are available, some holding several rods at once.

Thrifty or enterprising fishermen can make their own holder with relative ease and minimal expenditure. For mounting to a boat, a simple holder can be made out of PVC piping cut into a C shape, with a circular hole cut or stamped out near one end of the curve, and another at the other end, overlapping the edge and resulting in an incomplete circle. The full circle holds the butt of the rod and in the semi-circle it rests for quick retrieval. A hole is then drilled about one third of the way in from the full circle end which will be used to screw the rod holder to the side of the boat.

Of course, the first and probably the simplest home-made rod holder for the shore is a stick with one sharp end and a fork or cutout at the other. It is important to remember that set lines are illegal in some areas and that used irresponsibly, they can needlessly harm individual, as well as populations of fish. However, used properly rod holders can save the angler a lot of trouble and ensure that he brings home dinner.

There is no real need to make your own rod rests when you can buy them at such low prices from online retailers that sell carp gear such as Hair Rigs.
