Fishing Rod Holster Model Comparison

Both Factory Made & Hand Crafted Features:

  • Both are designed as an In-Action Tool while you fish ~ as a third hand when you need to set your rod down. Not so much as a holder while you walk or use while your line is in the water.
  • Both can be used with spinning reel or bait caster.
    • Bait caster does not use the locking mechanism, but the angle allows rod to stay in position even while bending toward ground.
  • Both are fully produced in the USA.
  • Both fit molle hole configurations.
  • Both are made for fresh water, but fit most saltwater fishing rods.
  • Both have a fixed outward angle to ensure comfortable use and to avoid line being blown behind you or around your neck while performing tasks.
