These easy to install sealed fishing rod holders are a must on all fishing kayaks. Most of the flush mount rod holders on the market today are not equipped with sealed caps. The last thing you need is a 2inch hole in your kayak or canoe. Our capped rod holders keep water out while securing your rods in. Perfect for kayaks and canoes and versatile enough to accommodate narrow bass and fly rods to large diameter coastal and offshore setups. When mounting on sit-on-top kayaks the hole should be drilled at 2 inches then augured out to form an oblong (egg shaped) hole that measures 2.5 inches at its greatest distance. If your kayak dose not provide access to the inside of the hull than we recommend using our marine grade self sealing pop rivets (part # KH104) to mount your pole holder to the kayak deck. We recommend using a high grade silicon sealant and apply to the underside of the flange of the flush mount pole holder during installation. This helps stabilize and secure your pole holder and minimizes any water infiltration.
