Capt. Rusty Jenkins introduced me to the PISTOS Rod Caddie about a year ago. What an extremely functional and versatile angling accessory.

The Rod Caddie is a multifunctional system, offering a much-needed solution for anglers on the go—boat, bank, beach, or pier.  The design concept centers on a large canister with a pedestal-style insert, which latches into place and is capable of stowing four rods in an upright position for transport or storage. When the insert is lifted out and removed, the caddie can be used as a stripping bucket for fly fisherman (which is notched to hold your rod horizontally across its top should you need a rest) or a live bait-well for conventional tackle anglers. Once you’ve reached your destination, the removable storage pedestal stands independently, thus allowing your rods to remain in an upright and readied position while keeping those valuable rod tips up and out of harm’s way.  

The Rod Caddie is constructed of an extremely durable UV-resistant material and comes in two sizes: the Big Daddy and the Little Mama. Optional bases are available for each, creating a wider footprint for even more stability.
