T-H Marine Rod Tamer RHD-1 12 Inch Gunwale Mount Rod Holder Strap, Holds Up to 3 Rods

The T-H Marine Rod Tamer RHD-1 is a 12 inch gunwale mount rod holder strap that secures up to 3 fishing rods along the gunwale of a boat. Molded from black polyurethane, the strap stretches over rods and hooks into a loop mounted on the deck, keeping rods locked in place while running or trolling. Unlike older hook-and-loop style straps, the Rod Tamer will not snag fish hooks, will not lose its grip when wet, and will not fade or degrade from sun exposure or common chemicals. The polyurethane material is formulated to retain its stretch over time so the strap keeps working season after season instead of going slack. As a gunwale mount design, the RHD-1 retracts into the gunwale when not holding rods, keeping the deck clear, and installation requires a 3/4 inch mounting hole. The Rod Tamer line also includes an 18 inch gunwale mount version (RHD-2) for up to 6 rods, small-hook gunwale variants (RHDN-1, RHDN-2), and deck mount versions (RT-14, RT-18) for boats such as aluminum or foam-filled fiberglass hulls that cannot accept a retracting gunwale mount strap, so boaters can match the mounting style to their boat and rod count.
