    Rod Buckle

    So my port side rod buckle decided to quit working.....Ive searched high and low to try finding the same one I have in my boat which is the smaller concealed version and cannot find it anywhere.......you guys know something I dont? Only other thing im thinking is I buy the normal big rod buckle and use my existing concealed mounting kit?

    Mine has a rubber bungie cord right behing the seat. The cord come out of the gunnel and attached to a metal d ring on the deck of the boat.

    Thanks! I just looked at as many photos as I could find online that shows the passenger side and it looks like its definitely a rubber retractable out of the gunwale! Got it ordered! LOL

    It is the standard rod buckle retractor unit, and they screw the gunnel kit onto it. Its pretty straight forward. The strap can be a bit hard to take the clip off of just dont let it go snapping back in there to fast like a window shade

    My original bow port side rod buckle had broke earlier last year but I fixed that.......when I originally purchased the boat we noticed right away there was no rod strap for the passenger.....so anytime rods were laying there next to the seat you had to hold it so the rods wouldnt bounce out or rod covers come off. Thats why I was asking about that one which I bought a gunwale retractable mount for it.
