To install rod holders on a kayak, follow these steps:

1. Install a backing plate for additional support.

2. Use stainless steel bolts and lock nuts to reach the inside of the hull.

3. Close the bottom of a flush mount rod holder with a rubber bearing cap for a trailer hub.

4. Fold adjustable rod holders flat for transport.

5. Customize fishing rod holders by adjusting their positioning to suit your preferred fishing style.

Installing a rod holder on a kayak can be a challenge if you haven’t done it before. This comprehensive guide provides a step-by-step guide on the types of rod holders available and how to mount them.

Flush mount rod holders are often installed ahead of the cockpit and behind the seat. Vertical rod holders are ideal for those who only use flush mount holders. Flush mount holders require drilling a large-diameter hole in the hull, but it’s important to measure the space before doing so.

The most common place to install flush mount rod holders is behind the cockpit. The hardest part is deciding what angle to put on them. Clip-on rod holders with a locking screw can also be attached around the cockpit.

To install the flush mount, drill a 1 38-inch hole for the socket for the rod holder and four small holes for the bolts holding down the rod. The first step is to determine where the rod holder will be mounted on the kayak, making it within easy reach for easy access.
