Rod Tamer™ Rod Straps 12", Holds 4-Rods, Deck Mount - T-H Marine Supply

I just recently acquired my very first boat, a used 1997 NiTRO 700 LX, which both it and the trailer needed some (a little) work. One of the items needed were these rod straps. In searching the internet, I found these on the iBoats website (only place that had them, too!). They match the OEM straps PERFECTY and the quality is second to none. The price was extremely reasonable so I bought four of them just so there'd be spares on hand in the future. These are items that will deteriorate over time due to weather and exposure to the elements so being able to have extras on hand was definitely a plus. installation was easy and I had bought straps installed within 5 minutes only because I was slow in turning the screwdriver. They came with their own screws and they fit the existing holes perfectly threaded right in as though they had made the original holes. Again, excellent product.

very good

Only have had them on the boat for one week and one of them came apart on the hook end first time out. Iboats was awesome to replace it right away. Too early to see how they'll hold up to the Florida sun, but if they last 18-months they'll out do the previous ones. Like to see them made with a swivel on the mounted end so they can be moved aside when not secured. As is, they present a tripping or snaring problem when standing to fish on the front of the boat.

Really pleased with the rod strap. Like the slim design and the strap works very well.

Item replaced one on my boat that dry rotted after 8 years. I wasn't expecting delivery for a couple more days so I was really surprised. Thanks T-H Marine!
