Hi Y'all A paddling buddy who is (unaccountably) not on this list recently bought a snazzy German collapsible fishing rod, which he wants to use from his kayak. He has searched for ads selling a fishing rod holder suitable for the deck of a kayak, but without success. Surely one of this august electronic assemblage has the information that will make my friend happy! I'm counting on you guys!

Try this link http://www.kayakfishing.com/index.html Heaps on fishing, but mainly from S.O.T's. I use a loop of bungie attached to the hip pads of my sea kayak. It slips over the reel with the butt of the rod jammed against my leg. By angling the rod towards the rear side of the coaming, you can still wear a spray skirt (the rod pokes out of one side angled back to allow paddling if needed). Never lost a rod and still manage to grab it in time to strike. Beats the painful experience of drilling more holes in the kayak!

For the last ten to twelve years or so I have been using a very simple and economical arrangement for a fishing rod holder on my kayak. It consists of about a twelve inch length of PVC pipe tilted at a slight angle and glassed into a flat Plexiglas base. I glued some neoprene rubber to the bottom of the base so it would not wiggle around or scratch the fiberglass surface of my boat. This is then held to the boat with the deck bunjies. I usually carry my rod and holder in the bunjies behind the cockpit, but it could just as easily go in front. Just as an additional precaution I have about a three foot length of cord fastened to the butt of my rod with a small clip on the other end which is then hooked to the boat. This is to make sure that I don't lose my rod and reel in a mishap. I have never actually needed it, but it makes me feel a whole lot better knowing that it is in place.
