The short cradle is designed for quick and easy removal of the fishing rod. The rods reel will sit in the cut out recession against the base of the cradle and the rod handle will sit safely into the boat. This design works well for pulling boards as well as running your rod tips near the water for Muskie fishing.
There is a recession in where the reel sits in the cradle to help protect the rod and assist in keeping it from spinning in the cradle. There is also a trigger slot at the far end of the cradle to ensure that rods with triggers on them sit comfortably in the cradle.
Many people find that staggering their rods at different heights works well to keep their lines and boards from crossing! Check out our different length Riser Mounts to see which sizes may best suit your needs!
If you are looking to bury your rod tip into the water we do have "chicken rings" available as shown in the photo's of our Long Cradle Rod Holder. This option is great if you plan to bury your rod tips in the water or if you want to tilt your rod up vertically and lock them in place when cruising between destinations.
