your mind working overtime again there
STOLEN IDEA FROM EDITB: For an overhead reel setup save yourself a ****load and just buy a set of cheap hand clamps from Mitre10... usually get them in the bargain bins for about $5. Attach them to your rod above the hand grip and simply lay the rod down on the rocks using the hand clamp to keep it angled off the rocks. Tie the reel off to a rock with a small rope or string. No rod holder necessary and it can be placed anywhere and face any direction.

. Good idea that one that I might just try myself
I take two of the compact Nacsan rock spikes and a flatter rock spike . In most places I find a suitable crack for one or the other. Most easily accessible sites have 'permanent rod holders' which normally provide a stable rod location.
Would love to own a rocky rod holder but they are quite expensive for something likely to be left behind.

I was just thinking I'd post that but Saul's already done it for me 
The clamp acts a bipod and keeps the reel topside up. The string is attached to a s/s carabiner that attaches to the harness points on the TLD25.| JK wrote: I always use rod holders on the rocks. Either the short cheapy nascan ones or the rockys - usually take one of each. Both are great as they are nice and small so slide in to backpacks easy this is the rocky

You don't need big booty ones. if your reels are left on clickers or runners. Seen a few fullers use ball sinkers to drop down into the cracks and a safety line and clip to the reel for extra back up. Rod holders are mandatory on the rocks for me. My gear only goes from my rod wrap, to the holder, to my hands. All my gear stays in tip top shape owing to this. No excuse for abusing your gear on the barnacles. That way you can reason buying flasher gears! |
