Hi all,
For trolling in the bwca using a knee to hold the rod has the advantage of not bringing extra gear.
However, depending on the focus of the trip a rod holder might be nice.
Have you all heard about the VersiGunwale from Wenonah? It allows mounting of popular rail based rod holders to the canoe.
A video showing the VersiGunwale. (Also if you watch the video closely, are they trolling us with the tiny little rod? How would you like to land a big bwca smallie or pike with that rod and reel combo?)
This seems like a nice option to me. I already have some Scotty Rod Holders and mounts in some of my canoes.
The only question is what adapter fits in the rail to hold the rod holder?
