Quick take
An 18-inch bungee cord strap with pad eyes and stainless steel hardware designed to secure fishing rods on boats or vehicles.
This pair of 18-inch bungee rod straps screws down to a boat deck or gunwale and holds a rod in place with an adjustable loop. Each strap hooks onto a nylon pad eye, and the set comes with six stainless steel self-tapping screws and install instructions. It suits anglers who want a simple way to keep rods from sliding around while the boat is moving.
