Overview
This is a steel bank fishing rod holder from Powerlock, built with a stomp plate so anglers can drive it into hard ground by foot. It suits catfish, carp and other bank fishing setups where a stationary rod stand is needed.
Three rod angle settings (low, upright, vertical) let it adapt to different bait presentations and bank slopes, and the UV-reactive Toxic Green and Blaze Orange finishes glow under blue or black light for night sessions. It ships in Toxic Green, Blaze Orange or Raw Primed Steel.
- 3/8 inch powder-coated steel body
- 10-gauge stainless stomp plate
- Three rod angles: low, upright, vertical
- UV-reactive glow finish for night fishing
Who it's for
Bank anglers targeting catfish, carp or other big freshwater species who need a rod holder that can take a hard strike without pulling loose. Less suited to anglers who want something light enough to carry far on foot.
