Fishpond Quickshot 2.0 Rod Holder
Fishpond's Quickshot Rod Holder 2.0 is a great concept for a product many anglers can use. The Fishpond Quickshot 2.0 Rod Holder is designed to attach to your backpack or sling pack and to hold a spare rod while you fish. The Quickshot 2.0 Rod Holder is perfect for Christmas Island where anglers are often bonefishing with one rod but want that 12-weight handy in case the GT's come rolling in.
The Fishpond Quickshot 2.0 Rod Holder allows the rod to be quickly removed from the holder with one-hand attachment and detachment of the rod. Designed specifically for certain Fishpond packs (mentioned below), a little creativity can surely adapt the Quickshot Rod Holder to other backpacks and sling packs.
Here is what Fishpond has to say about their Quickshot 2.0 Rod Holder:
The closest thing to having a full time rod caddie on the water with you. A pack of GT’s at 2 o’clock 120’ out and they are coming in hot! Get that bonefish rod out of your hand and grab the 12wt that is neatly tucked onto the side of your pack. With the flip of the FidLock®, the switch has been made and it’s time to strip line, make the shot, and do battle. Having the right tool for the job when you need it is crucial for success. This is why we have designed a clean system that keeps your fully rigged rods fully secured, at the ready, and completely out of your way while fishing. From your favorite trout stream to far-off angling destinations, we have your success in mind.
- Updated from our first version, the new 2.0 Quikshot Rod Holder has an improved back attachment for using on Fishpond packs and on wader belts.
- Also updated from the previous version, the rod holder has been simplified to no longer use a magnetic release, which means strong winds and heavy reels won’t force the magnetic clasp open. The new side release buckle is stronger but still opens with the pinch of your fingers.
- Thermoformed molded rod holder cradles any size rod handle
- Webbing loop with a polytube overlay for holding the butt of a standard rod or a fighting butt
- Quik release buckle with webbing adjustment secures the rod handle into the rod cradle, and releases your fully rigged rod with just one quick pinch.
- Includes upper magnetic closure to add additional stability when using our backpacks
- Adjustable back attachment system will attach to the molded tabs found on many Fishpond products, or to most Wader belts. The system can be adjsuted to fit to 30mm or 50mm width webbing.
- Compatible with the Thunderhead Submersible Backpack, Thunderhead Submersible Sling (not recommended for right-hand casters), Thunderhead Submersible Lumbar Pack, Cutbank Gear Bag, and Windriver Roll-top Backpack. *All compatible pack models are 2018 or newer.
