Trapper fishing rod holder

grabcad

The fishing rod holder for Trapper canoes is designed with environmental considerations in mind. Made from marine-grade wood like varnished spruce, its appearance complements the wooden details of the canoes. The metal components, such as the tightening mechanism, are aluminum castings and machined for lightweight and corrosion resistance. Cork inserts on main brackets protect the canoe. The bracket is made using hemp fiberglass, an eco-friendly alternative to common plastics and composite materials, reducing weight for a stable canoe. Assembling the holder requires minimal parts and only a single bolt and two small screws. The design follows Trapper's curves and seamless joints, blending effortlessly with the canoe. The bracket can be polished or painted to match Trapper's color range. Functionally, it easily attaches around the hull rim and is secured by a toothed mechanism that holds without tools. Side-to-side rotation is adjustable with a circular platform and disk, while the rod angle can be adjusted by loosening a fastener bolt. This eco-friendly holder is secure, durable, lightweight, and suitable for Trapper canoe users.
