It is a tube design with a removable gimbal pin and a reel holder that can be rotated to orient baitcasting or spinning rods into the perfect position. The two oversized padeyes can be used for rod leashes. Extremely popular with anglers who like to troll. Hobie recommends using a rod leash to tether your rod to the kayak when fishing for big game.
