whats the point of the rod holder extenders? is it's purpose to just get the reel higher of the water for durability? ive never had a rod escape the molded holder and dont see how it's physically possible unless a fish jumps and pulls line 3-5 feet up out of the water. |

My impression is that they keep the reels higher so they don't get as wet, which should help with long term durtability. The other reason is that they make it a little easier to reach your rod since they are behind you. |

I use extenstions so the rod end is up and out of the bottom of the yak on my PA |

I am always chasing tails (Redfish) so not only is it at the ready position for me to grab quickly, but it also secures my $250 dollar milkcrate (Hobie Live well)& puts to use my Hobie rod leashes(no holes drilled for pad eyes)........plus it keeps my rods more up and out of my way for spare rods behind me....Steve |
