Rod Buckle retractable rod tie downs?????

[Aries 181]

Does anyone have these on their boat and do you like them? Marine Specialty in red bankistan has ordered some and will have them in a couple wks. http://www.wholesalemarine.com/p/BBB-14200/RodBuckle Retractable Fishing Rod Tie Down.html

The Rod Saver velcro type just won't cut it any longer in rough water.

Thanks,
Bill

Never tried them, do they cost more or less than the traffic cam ticket?
I boycot "Red Bankistan" because of those things and the lies that city officials tell about them not being revenue enhancement!
Oh yeah, anyway tell us how you like them!

Bill, I just put mine in last week but I like them so far. They are a little aggrivating to install, especially when your Dremel burns up on the first cut. Nice clean look and operate well though.

I put three in my boat. i like them their easy to ysu and you dont have a strap laying there while you fish. You can mount either flush or a hidden mount. i would go with the hidden mount. If you have the room.
