Keep up to three rods upright and within easy reach while you're setting up with this magnetic foam strip. The magnet attaches solidly to your vehicle and is padded to protect paint.
The rod holder work very well, I feel that I got a better fit on my surf rods since the blanks are a little larger than freshwater blanks. The magnet holds well and doesn't scratch your vehicles finish. One problem I had was in the severe heat we're having in the northeast the glue holding the foam insert melted enough for it to come out and my rods fell over. I used some two-part epoxy and put the foam insert back in and no problems. Overall the product is good, just the glue needs to be able to handle the hot and coldand be stronger.
If there was ever a product that is as versitle as this is then every fisherman should own one. I did have doubts about its powerful magnetic ability to hold my fly rods in place on the hood of my truck while movig from fishing hole to hole, but am pleasantly reassured that they will be there when I park at the next fishing hole when I see them intact and in the same place that I left them. After each time I use the stand I have more confidence in its ability to stay steadfast where I put it to keep my fishing rods safe and ready to use the next time everytime.
