RAM-Rod Light-Speed $36-$48 www. ram-mount .com


You’re trolling. Fish on! Now what? Don’t wrestle the rod out of the holder— give it the quick draw. The spring-loaded Light-Speed goes from secure to fighting fish in moments. Rods replace easily, too. A release lock-out provides extra security when big fish are in the offering. The price depends on the mounting base—there are four to choose from.


Scotty 429


Gear Head Mount Extender $30 / www.scot ty.com


Swivel, drop and lock Scotty rod holders into the perfect position with the Gear Head. The unit adds significant


flexibility—it’s as indispensible as your elbow joint. The 429 includes the Gear Head Mount, Extender and Mounting Post for one low price.


Down East Sportcraft Rod Holder $30 / www.down-east .com


Given that we’re cowboys of the sea, a rod holder that works like a holster is apropos. The quick- draw release on the Down-Easter D-11 requires no backing out or unlatching to bring your rod into play. Draw your fly rod in response to a strike while trolling like drawing a six gun off your hip. If you’re mounting to a curved sit-in hull, try using half the rail mount. Use a bit of lanyard or bungee to secure your rod when you’re not trolling. —Rob Lyon
