KastKing V16 Fishing Rod Rack with Rotating Base - Holds Up to 16 Fishing Rods or Combos, Black ABS Material, Modern Design, Tiered Shelf, Garage Organization, Fishing Activities

This rod rack is by far better than any similar (in design) offerings available. Easy to assemble, good design ( with the staggered heights to allow a more compact footprint ) and so far, the durability. There have been negative remarks on the "loose" rod capturing clips but this is an actual plus. They hold the rod well but allow for easy retrieving/ putting the rod back without putting stress on the rack itself. On wooden racks of similar design, the stiff clips that retain the rod actually are a negative due to the stress from the effort required to remove or replace the rod, eventually making the retaining bolts loose and the rack wobbly.

We have had this stand for about 8 months and it’s not sturdy. The rods fall out (the flip isn’t strong enough to hold the rods) and cause the entire stand to be wobbly. In hindsight, I would not recommend it. UPDATE: I was contacted by the company weeks after I did my review. And they kindly apologized for my experience with the rod holder and they refunded my money. I would purchase items from them again just because of the amazing response. I wanted people to know my experience not even realizing they would read these comments and respond. THIS IS HOW YOU TREAT CUSTOMERS! I appreciate this company’s willingness to make things right. Great job.

Looks like a great idea. Easy to assemble. And if the rod keepers weren’t so soft it would be a great rod holder for the space it saves. However after using it for a month every time I would walk past it I would have a rod that had fallen out of the top of it because the rubber stops are entirely too soft to keep a rod in place. If you try to pull one rod out and accidentally just touch it with your finger from on another slot. That rod is falling out as well. . I’ll hold off on buying this until they resolve that issue.

The rod rack is pretty solid for the money. It has enough space to hold rod all kinds of rods except one surf rod that is too thick for the clamp. Installation was easy and has very little room to go wrong. However, the rotation base does not work very well. Although it does work, the rotation is not very smooth. And because the rods are held together tightly, it feels a bit flimsy when rotating when heavily loaded. The bottom of the base does not sit flat on the floor and it wiggles a little, which make it even more unstable especially if you have a heavier rod on one side. Overall it is a good looking product that works as described. The flaws are not too bad for the price you pay.

This is BY FAR the best vertical rod storage rack I've ever owned. The double-tier design holds up to TWICE as many rods as some other models of the same size (16 max). My favorite feature though has to be the carry handle in the center, which is easy to reach even when the rack is fully loaded. The rack is sturdy and well-balanced but still very light weight (unlike some wood models I own) and the handle makes it super easy to carry across the basement or garage - just a super clever feature. The rotating base is spins smoothly and it has some extra compartments for pliers, spools and other misc gear. Really highly recommend yet another superior item from KastKing.
