BoatBuckle F14202 RodBuckle Concealed Mounting Kit for Retractable Rod Hold-Down System

The BoatBuckle RodBuckle Concealed Mounting Kit (F14202) is a deck-mount accessory designed for anglers who want their retractable rod hold-down retractor installed out of sight. Rather than mounting the RodBuckle Retractable Rod Hold-Down System retractor on top of the gunwale, this kit lets you recess it inside the gunwale for a cleaner, more finished look on deck-style fishing boats. It is built by fishermen for fishermen, matching the design philosophy of the RodBuckle system itself: a functional, attractive rod hold-down setup that keeps rods secured with a self-retracting polyester strap that extends a full 24 inches and locks into position on deck.

This kit includes only the concealed mounting hardware; it does not include the retractable strap unit, which is sold separately as the RodBuckle Retractable Rod Hold-Down System (model F14200). The mounting kit is made of durable plastic with a black finish, and its deck-mount design is intended for outdoor marine use. It is lightweight at 0.13 pounds, making it easy to install using basic hand tools.
