Application & Key Features
The RAM® Tube™ Rod Holder is a high-performance accessory engineered for durability, and extreme adjustability. When integrated with the Yakdog mounting system, it offers several unique advantages for kayak anglers. The rod holder is mounted on Yakdog mounting plates or brackets with C1 RAM balls.
Trolling
Each holder is equipped with a specific-length anchor cable designed to handle the high torque of trolling.
· Structural Protection: The cable absorbs the pull of the lure or fish, allowing you to troll effectively without over-tightening the holder to the RAM® ball, which prevents long-term ball deformation.
· Precision Tuning: Simply rotate the RAM® Tube™ to lengthen or shorten the anchor cable, allowing for micro-adjustments to your rod angle.
· Gimbal Integration: The tube features an internal pin specifically designed to lock into gimbal-butt rods, completely eliminating unwanted rod rotation while under load.
Enhanced Gear Security
· Multi-Purpose Lanyards: The anchor cable doubles as a convenient attachment point for equipment lanyards. We recommend tethering your landing net or other essential gear to this point to prevent accidental loss overboard.
Advanced Versatility
· Compact Stowage: The 360-degree flexibility of the RAM® system allows for a minimal deck footprint. Tubes can be angled independently to accommodate various reel styles or to improve your ergonomic reach.
· Low-Profile Clearance: For river fishing or navigating under low bridges and docks, the holders can be adjusted to a near-horizontal position, keeping your rods safe from overhead obstacles.
· Self-Draining Protection: The open-bottom, self-draining design keeps water from pooling.
· Elevated stowage: The RAM Rod tube holders elevates your reels further above the waterline, protecting your investment from water and corrosive salt water spray.
· Usability: The rod holder can be mounted on either side of the kayak. The thumb nut and bolt can easily be reversed to make this possible.
Streamlined Transportation
For those who travel with their kayaks, the RAM® Tube™ holders can be removed in seconds. This allows you to keep your kayak "slick" for transport and quickly snap in the specific holders you need for each unique outing just before launch.
