In the Equipment product group, you will find the basic fishing equipment for your boat: a Patriot Trio rod holder in white, a stainless steel rod holder, a ready-made ice fishing/rod set, a 60kg fishing magnet, and an ABS plastic and stainless steel rod holder.
A rod holder is a basic piece of equipment for a fishing boater: it holds the rod securely in place both during trolling and waiting, freeing your hands for other tasks. The Patriot Trio model allows you to attach multiple rods to the same holder at once, which is especially useful when trolling, where several rods are in the water at the same time.
The choice of material in a rod holder affects durability: stainless steel is highly resistant to salt water and mechanical stress, while an ABS plastic model is a lighter and more affordable option for inland fishing or lighter use. An ice fishing/rod set is a ready-made package for a beginner angler, containing the necessary basic equipment without the need to purchase separate parts.
A fishing magnet is a separate, popular accessory for boaters who enjoy magnet fishing — 60kg of pulling force is enough to find most metal objects underwater. Always remember to check local regulations on magnet fishing before attempting the activity, as the practice is restricted or prohibited in some waterways.
Always rinse and dry your equipment after use, especially metal parts that are exposed to salt water and fishy odors — well-maintained equipment will last many times longer than if left unattended. Place rod racks in a location where the rod is quickly accessible but not in the way of other boating activities.
Also consider a storage solution for your gear on the boat — a moisture-proof box or case will keep hooks, lines, and smaller accessories organized and protected from rust better than loose storage in the boat's storage area.
Compare the mounting method of the rack according to the structure of your boat's deck — a bolt-on model is the most sturdy for permanent installation, while a clamp-on or magnetic model is better suited for temporary or portable use.
Compare the durability of different equipment according to frequency of use — for an active fisherman, it is worth choosing a more robust model than for occasional, light use.
Always keep your equipment in the same place when preparing the boat so that you can go fishing quickly without having to search for it.
Ask for advice on choosing the right rod holder model if you mainly fish with larger, heavier rods.
Compare the number of racks according to your needs if you fish with several rods simultaneously from a boat.
Compare the surface treatment of the rack, as stainless steel is more resistant to salt water than coated regular steel.
Check the load capacity of the rack before attaching larger equipment to it.
