My first thoughts on seeing the fly rod saver were sceptical but I tried this out yesterday at my local river. When i first got to the river i put the rod saver in the ground it went in easy and seemed very solid although the bank was quite soft there might have been problems if if was rocky. When my line had been put through the rings i put the rod in it while tackling up, the butt went in the holder easy enough and it held very firm and it would have stayed there no problem if it had been windy. When you need to change a fly or have a break the rod saver is a great gadget no more leaning your rod against a tree or laying it on the floor with the fear of treading on it which to be honest i have never done but I’ve come close to a hundred times. Carrying it around is easy I just put a bulldog clip on the ring and clip it onto my bag when on the move, its also very light so no there’s weight issues. Its build quality is good it should last years, as for price it does seem a bit expensive but if you tread on your rod that will be even more so, If you normally fish with two rods its ideal for keeping one out of the way. After using it i think its a good investment and it does the job its made for and does it well. As for recommending it i think its one of those products you wish you had bought after you’ve trod on your rod and broken it. It’s a really good product and there’s no way i’d be without mine!
