Review on ♀️ 2-Pack Flush Mount Kayak Deck Plastic Rod Holders with Cap Cover – Essential Fishing Tackle Accessory Tool by Patrick Hamilton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Installation was an issue on the kayak.

Pretty tricky setup at the front of the kayak. The hole must be drilled at a high angle, creating a large egg-shaped hole nearly 2 inches in diameter. Then I discovered that the frame cuts deep into the legroom and is an obstacle to your legs. I had to change the direction of the angle at the last minute to avoid a near-disaster with a huge hole in my new kayak and no rod holder due to the restrictions it caused below. The product is well made but not ideal for my application. Installation instructions were not included. You will need a drill press and a hole saw. I used 1 3/4 inch. Before drilling any holes, think carefully about how the pipe extension will interfere with the one below. As long as it doesn't interfere with anything underneath, it will work just fine.

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Hard to say
