The FlipGrip is an all-new tool holder that uses a rubber retention band and a cam lever to apply positive pressure to objects of all diameters. Designed primarily for fishing rods, the FlipGrip will also work for paddles and ParkNPoles. The FlipGrip is only compatible with the ClickTrac Rail system. To attach, depress the lever button on the outside of the FlipGrip frame, align the teeth on the bottom of the FlipGrip with the teeth on the top of the ClickTrac Rail, and lower it onto the rail. Slide the FlipGrip along the rail until it locks into place. The FlipGrip features three positions. In the “Open” position, it can be used simply as a rod stager. Next is the “Closed” position, where the FlipGrip gets its name. By flipping the retaining lever over a rubber retention band stretches over your rod to apply positive pressure on varying sizes of diameters. Finally, on the front of the FlipGrip, there is a locking lever. Flip the locking lever up and over the retention lever to use the “Locked” position for extra security. The mechanics of the FlipGrip allow you to apply the same pressure to rod butts and rod tips alike, and as mentioned above, the FlipGrip will work with your paddle, an stakeout pole, or any tool with a diameter up to 1.25 inches. Injection-molded from UV stabilized polymers, the FlipGrip will last for many years, even in harsh marine environments.
