Quick take

A quick-release fly rod holder for wader belts and packs that secures fully rigged rods out of the way.

The Fishpond QuikShot Rod Holder 2.0 parks a fully rigged rod on your pack or wader belt so both hands are free for netting, tying on or wading. A molded cradle takes the rod handle, and a pinch-to-open side buckle holds it in place until you want it. The back attachment fits molded tabs on many Fishpond packs or most wader belts, and the whole holder weighs about a quarter pound.
