Stainless Steel Rod Stand - Automatic Spring Fishing Rod Holder - High Sensitivity - 2 Pack

I purchased 4 more after an earlier purchase. I did notch a pvc pipe out for the rod handle and attached it to it. Have patience when finding the sensitivity.

My husband LOVES these, I forgot them ONCE on a fishing trip and he almost never forgave me. They are sturdy, they work well (after you get the hang of them), they can be a little scary to "release" but as long as your face is NOT right in front of it youll be fine. There is a learning curve to them. BUT we love them, he loves them, and everyone we have ever seen fishing has asked us about them and wants a set for themselves. We have children and thus do not get to just "sit and fish" and are usually chasing one of them around or digging in the snack bag etc etc etc. These make fishing a breeze and so much more enjoyable and we have not missed a fish since we purchased!HIGHLY recommend and will ABSOLUTELY purchase again. Although I doubt we will ever need to, we have put these guys through heck and back and they work just as good now as the first day.

I just lost a rod (lure, line, reel, and a monster fish apparently) at a spillway. I cast my live bait into the current, sit my rod on the wire fence and started preparing for my second rod. When I was almost done I turned around to find my rod gone. I assume a regular big fish wouldn't have the strength to lever the rod up over a four-foot fence top. But it happened. I decided that it shouldn't happen again. So I decided to find a holder. After a survey I found this one and was attracted by how it worked. So I ordered a pair and it arrived fast. I used it yesterday and it caught a fish FOR ME. It's a drum fish, but it means it worked. You may wonder how this guy can hold a rod on a rail. Simple. I happened to find some underground sprinkler pipe (sturdy), I cut it to 12 inch segments, slip it through a think metal bar, bent the bar at both ends so it wouldn't allow the pipe segment to move up and down. The top was bended in a curve of the same size of the diameter of the fence rail. Put it on the rail, fastened it with lashing strap(top and bottom), and stick the holder into the pipe hole. And that's it. Looks complicated, but it's really simple. I went fishing the same spillway this afternoon again. Other fellow anglers had to lean above the fence and stretch both arms out to work their baits. I used swim baits, which was cast into the current, so, the holder did the reaching out part for me, and the current did the work the bait part. I didn't catch fish, but neither did other fellows. Couldn't blame the holder: )

Okay, I have BNO affiliation with this product/company/manufacturers/ etc, etc. This is my experience, and my experience alone. Seen this product on a YouTube fishing video. Either 618 or TyPatrol.... looked neat, bought it, and looked forward to it coming in. (BTW... I got the double set). The day they camne in, the wife and I went fishing. Stuck them in the mud, cast the rods, set them in the holders, tightened the line, rigged trigger and waited. A few minutes later, my rod get a nibble.... A little more nibble.... a little more nibble.... It was funny... My wife is saying, "Just get you pole and hook the fish." I am laughing and saying " Just give it a minute. I would like to see if this thing works." Back comes the fish and more nibbles.... then all of a sudden, the rod flings up. You could tell that a fish is on because the rod did not come all the way up to a vertical position. (There was definite tension on the line) I grab the rod from the holder and sure enough... FISH ON!!!!!. We could not believe it. The wife and I were laughing the whole time I reeled it in. Was it a monster fish? No. Just a little Muddy Water Catfish, but it works! First Time it worked. We just received these in the mail the other day and only used them that on time, however; we are looking forward to going back out to use these again. How many fish did we catch while using these? I don't remember off hand. How many got away? Hard to say. We would cast into the river and sometimes floating debris would hit and tug on the line causing a premature trigger but I can say that everytime a fish caused the trigger to snap, BAM... FISH ON!.... I (WE) really do recommend these. For like??? I forget what I paid ($39.00???) Way worth the fun!!! Highly recommend. Hope this helps.

Very sturdy, at the highest sensitivity it wasn’t catching much other than small bass. My bait was stolen 80% of the time and I had no slack in the line.

This gadget is amazing. I went to our local reservoir and slayed it. This is great for the times if you want to cast your pole and read a book or do some work or your playing with your children. This worked every single time I’m real pleased with it. Quality on these pole holders are damn good. I’m impressed. For the trout I used the first bottom notch on the trigger. Plus this works great for those real windy days when it’s hard to tell if your getting a bite.

These are compact and fit in the tackle box, easy to put together. The stake you drive in the ground isnt the longest so keep a eye on it if you catch the big one. For multiple rod use definitely worth it as like I said they are compact

I had very little hope for this product but figured I would use it more as a rod holder. I was surprised however when a sunny set it off. the most important thing to understand is that the fish has to remove all the slack from the line to trigger the mechanism. I could a cat fish the other day and it didn't go off as the fish never pulled the slack out.Also just a little warning never stand directly behind this when you are using it. If it goes off and you are right onto of it or leaning over it you are going to get hurt.
