New products offered by Sea-lect Designs for kayak fishing include an Offset Paddle Holder, Redesigned Anchor Trolley kit, and an Inline Track Mounting option for the Triple Threat Rod Holder!

Sea-lect Designs Offset Paddle Holder

An offset paddle holder is a great addition to any fishing kayak with integrated track mounting. Offsetting the paddle allows the remainder of the track to be utilized instead of being blocked when the paddle is stowed in a normal tack mounted paddle holder. The offset paddle clip mount also includes pre drilled holes to add mounting clamps to stow a stake out pole!

Sea-lect Designs Updated Anchor Trolley System

Also from Sea-lect Designs is an updated anchor trolley system! Incorporating sheaveless pulleys and a new low profile Z-Cleat lock! A Sheaveless pulleys puts the stealth in this anchor trolley system. Without the sound of a wheel this setup is completely silent. Also it doubles as a no maintenance fairly instead of a pulley which can over time fail due to dirt and grime buildup. The new low-profile Z-Cleat is a huge upgrade from the large clam cleat. This lock is flush and can be mounted completely out of your paddle sweep! Another key new feature is the addition of a clip to the ring which allows the anchor trolley to double as a tow rope or a way to clip on while wading!

Sea-lect Designs Triple Threat Track mount

The triple threat through my use and testing is the best lay in rod holder on the market. Reasons being it allows for heavier rods with larger grips to lay in and the 1/4 turn up/dn pivot adjust is key to one handed adjustment. Only thing it is missing is a complete track mount base with adjustable pivot action. From my understanding this is in the works and should be available for 2019! Was not available for display at Icast.

So excited to be attending ICast 2018 the sportfishing industries largest trade show! I will be working with Sea-lect Designs and will be also promoting The Plastic Hull along with Delaware Paddlesports!! Please subscribe to be updated on new posts and also check in on The Plastic Hull Facebook page. I will perodically be posting about all of the kayak fishing and fishing related “Game Changers” new kayaks and accessories being realeased for 2019.  I already know that Jackson Kayak has a really cool kayak coming out. One that I’v been anticipating. Will be releasing that news live tomorrow on Delaware Paddlesports Kayak Fishing Facebook Page! Hope to see you all tuning in.!!!

Sea-Lect Designs a kayak rigging hardware manufacturer has stepped into the kayak fishing game with their new Triple Threat Rod & Reel Holder. This high quality design has a ton of thought into its production. The rod holder is  reasonably priced and designed to carry all three different fishing reel types. Spinning, Bait casting, and yes Fly!

First Impressions

The packaging is unique as it allows potential customers to operate most of the rod holders features. The retention collar and rear gimbal are fully functional. The packaging also details how the user can adjust the Triple Threat rod holder. It also displays the different reel types seated.

Features

The base connection

Currently the flush mount is only available. Alternatively a track mount kit is sold separately. It works fine and is plenty strong. The track mount base is expected to ship in the fall of 2018.

The base connection is a spline type which enables the rod holder to pivot 360 degrees and to be detached. The Triple Threat is easily lifted from the base. Once lifted can be rotated to the desired position, Simply press back down to lock in place.

Pivot knob

The adjustments of this rod holder are very one hand operation friendly. To pivot the rod holder twist the adjustment knob a quarter. You may now pivot rod holder to your desired angle. To set the adjustment you simply twist quarter in the opposite direction. The pivot point allows 6 points of adjustment with 45 degrees of oscillation.

Retention Collar

The retention collars function is exactly the name. Twist to open and twist to lock the rod in place. The collar functions like most rod holders on the market except has an added lever for one handed operation.

Rear Gimbal

The rear gimbal is unique as it pivots to a 90 degree position to stop the butt of the rod from sliding through. With the retention collar closed simply place the fishing rod through the collar and rest the butt on the gimbal and the rod holder is now converted to a fast action tube style.

Leash Points

The rod holder features three total leash points in the flush mount and recessed mount setup. Leashing to the base is best in case the rod holder is not secured properly as has happened in the past with track ball mounted rod holders loosening and becoming lost.

My observations of the Triple Threat Rod Holder

The Sea-lect Designs Triple Threat Rod Holder is best used as a front rod holder until an extension is available. This rod holder appears to be a great setup for trolling and dead sticking. The unique Gimbal Transforms the rod holder into a tube style with the collar locked. This rod holder has one handed operation in mind. Everything on the rod holder can be adjusted with one hand. Kayak anglers know the advantages of the ease of operation on their gear and accessories.
