Does anyone transport their fishing rods in the molded-in rod holders while trailering their kayak? Just wondering if this is safe (not worried about theft). Thanks! |

I just realized which rod holders you were referring to...lol. I was thinking the rod tubes in the Pro Angler. I would not use the molded in rod holders to transport rods on the road for any distance. |

I suppose there's too much chance of the rods bouncing out of the holders. |

If you had extender tubes and set it up so you could could leash them down with say short bungies hooked over reel stem you could. I always feel rods transported this way, even on trailer boats are vulnerable to catching on something. |

I had a rod pop out on the water two weeks ago !!! I was always concerned about the angle. Now I use them for my net only while on the water. I attached two home made PVC holders to the milk crate I stage behind my seat. I put a slit in each that the reel stem sits in. I can bungee them if launching from the beach. Much safer IMHO. |
