It sounds like you’re looking for a spinning rod or fly rod holder equipped with a Directional Dial™—a feature that allows for easy adjustment of the rod’s angle or direction while fishing. Here’s what you might be referring to, along with some options and considerations:
Possible Product Types:
1. Boat Rod Holders with Directional Adjustment
– Some rod holders (like those from Scotty, RAM Mounts, or Cisco Fishing Systems) offer 360-degree swivel or dial-based adjustment to position your spinning or fly rod at the perfect angle.
– Example: Scotty Power Lock Rod Holder with Directional Adjustment allows you to lock in your preferred angle.
2. Fly Rod Holders for Wading or Bank Fishing
– Some specialized fly rod holders (like those from Fishpond or Rising) have adjustable angles for hands-free fishing while wading or shore fishing.
– A Directional Dial™ could refer to a rotating base that lets you quickly change the rod’s orientation.
3. Kayak or SUP Rod Holders with Adjustable Angle
– Many kayak fishing accessories (like YakAttack or Railblaza) offer adjustable mounts with a rotating dial for quick positioning.
Key Features to Look For:
– 360° Rotation – Allows full directional control.
– Quick-Release Mechanism – For easy rod access.
– Secure Locking – Prevents accidental movement.
– Universal Compatibility – Works with spinning, casting, or fly rods.
– Durable Construction – Corrosion-resistant (stainless steel, reinforced plastic).

DIY Option:
If you’re handy, you could modify a standard rod holder with a lazy Susan bearing or a swivel base to create your own “Directional Dial” system.
