Available in Buff Brite or Satin finish, the Bert's Custom Tackle Ratcheting Rodholder offers a 5 vertical position ratcheting gear block that allows one handed hook sets and prevents the rod from "locking" in the tube. The ratchet mechanism increases hookups allowing the angler to set the hook and keep pressure on the fish without having to relieve pressure on the rod to remove from the rod holder. Applicable to fresh or salt water, Bert's Custom Tackle Rodholders have gimbal pins, stainless steel and anodized aluminum construction, and are salt spray tested to insure years of successful fishing!
