The GTS Elite kayak fishing seat comes with a generous detachable zipper pack that has two solid plastic molded fishing rod holders incorporated into it. These molded rod holders have built-in fishing rod securing straps that easily wrap around your pole and Velcro down providing painless access while giving the paddler piece of mind in knowing the rod is safe. However, it''s always a good idea to back this up with on of our fishing rod leashes to ensure our pole stays with you.
