“I think the Big Red’s best feature is its easy access. There is no fumbling around with a rod holder when you have a bite; you simply grab the rod and set the hook. ”

"Holds pole well, jigs in the wind, and folds and stores well in my ice shanty."

— Robert

"Perfect for quick set up on ice. Folds up and stores nicely. Also, a lot easier to manage in cold weather when the hole freezes – a simple scoop and you are good to go"
