Description

This could, quite possibly, be one of the best gadgets in all of the fly fishing industry. Why? Because it is going to save you from standing on, and breaking, your favourite fly rod when you’re setting up or packing down.

The foam magnetic rod holder should be in the back of every fly fisher’s car. When it comes time to set up, just pop it onto the side of the car, it’ll hold there firmly without scratching the paintwork, then you can slide up to three rods into it, standing them upright against the car. Not only does it stop your rods getting stood on, it also stops you from driving away from your riverside carpark with your rod on the roof of the car (because you never needed to put it there with your magnetic rod holder).

If it saves just one fly rod in a lifetime of fly fishing, then this little gadget has more than made up for itself. And let’s face it, just about every one of us probably wishes they had one of these on a fateful afternoon gone in the past. Why not keep your rods intact and remember them for the good times, and not for that heartbreaking moment when you hear the sound no flyfisher wants to hear.
