DPS101 Seat Apparatus
This rod holder is designed for use while a person is in the sitting position. The rod holder comes in two pieces: first, the base, which slides under the front part of your legs; and second, the yoke, which holds the fishing pole. When you are not fishing, you do not have to have the yoke part attached. The yoke slides onto the base from the front. There is also a small length of pipe insulation inside the yoke tube, which helps hold the fishing pole very securely.

DPW103 Waist Apparatus
This rod holder is primarily designed for a person who would prefer to stand while fishing. The rod holder is designed to be able to hold the rod while the mobile hand and arm is able to reel in the fish. The rod holder has two straps: one goes around the neck and the other goes around the waist. Ideally, the waist apparatus should go around the largest part of the user’s waist.
Two pieces of information are needed to custom manufacture the apparatus for an individual:
- Does the individual have a preference of sides, either right or left?
- What is the approximate girth of the person using this apparatus?
With this information, the rod holder can be customized and sent out in approximately 2 weeks from the day ordered.
