FAQs
What type of ground is best for using this rod holder?
The rod holder is designed for optimal stability in sand, clay, earth, and gravel. It can also be used on harder surfaces, but ensure it is firmly planted.
What is the diameter of the rod receptacle?
The rod receptacle is a 48mm round tube, designed to fit most standard rod butt caps.
Is this rod holder suitable for saltwater fishing?
Yes, the V2A stainless steel construction makes it highly resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for both freshwater and saltwater environments.
How deep does the rod holder go into the ground?
The total length of the rod holder is 85cm. The portion inserted into the ground will depend on the depth needed for stability, but typically a significant portion will be used for secure anchoring.
Can this holder withstand very large fish like 100kg catfish?
Yes, this model has been specifically designed and tested to withstand strikes from 100kg+ catfish, providing secure fixation even under extreme pressure.
Does it have a water drain?
Yes, the 48mm round tube bushing includes a water drain to prevent water accumulation.
Troubleshooting
Rod holder is unstable in soft ground
Ensure the rod holder is pushed as deep as possible into the ground. If the ground is exceptionally soft, consider using a wider base or additional support if available, though the 85cm length usually suffices.
Difficulty fitting rod butt
The receptacle is 48mm and designed for most standard rod butt caps. If a particular rod butt is oversized, it may not fit. Ensure no debris is obstructing the receptacle.
Rod holder shows signs of rust (rare)
While made of V2A stainless steel, prolonged exposure to certain harsh chemicals or very specific corrosive environments could theoretically cause minor surface marks. Clean with a mild abrasive cleaner and rinse thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Identify a suitable location for placement. For maximum stability, choose a spot with firm ground (sand, clay, earth, gravel).
- Push the pointed end of the rod holder vertically into the ground until the desired depth is reached. Ensure it is firmly seated.
- Slide the butt of your fishing rod into the 48mm V2A stainless steel rod receptacle. Ensure the rod butt cap fits snugly.
