RAILBLAZA Products Used In This Install

RodStow Double 

The RodStow double combines rod storage and tackle storage in one. Whilst the Hobie H-Crate comes with 4 rod holders each of those are placed on the corners of the H-Crate. Often the rods in thos rod holders can get in th eway if on your casting side or the rear ones are too far away to reach.

By adding the RodStow Double to one side of the H-Crate you can both keep your casting area free form catching a rod behind you and keep all rods and nets at easier reach. Rodstow is available in a single, double or triple option, all of which will work on the H-Crate.
