Key Features:
1. Track-Compatible Design

2. Secure Rod Retention
– Adjustable tension knob ensures a firm grip on rod handles of different sizes.
– Rubberized inserts protect rods from scratches while preventing slippage.

4. Quick-Deploy & Hands-Free Use
– Tracloader Sideport lets you slide the rod in/out quickly while paddling or fighting fish.
– Great for trolling, storage, or backup rod access.
5. Durable Construction
– Made from UV-resistant, high-strength polymer for long-term kayak use.

Installation Tips:
– Mount in easy-to-reach spots (near the cockpit for quick swaps).
