Bert's ratcheting rod holders- 2 designs??


Recommended Posts

Over the winter I bought 2 Berts ratcheting rod holders from someone on LOU, and I noticed last week while fishing that they don't pull up with a 1-hand retrieve like my other 2 do.  You have to pull the lever to get the rod holder to raise up.  Is something wrong with them or are there 2 different designs/models out there?  The look exactly the same...

The Bert’s rod holder is reversible- one side allows it to ratchet and the other you have to unlock to pull up.  You pull the c clip to pull pin and the lock mechanism then flip the rod holder around.  The teeth on the bottom are configured differently to allow for this.  Designed that way.

Thanks, had no idea!  I will check that out too!
