Stealth Rod Holders Work!
Dec 16, 2021 16:13:20 #
Isn’t it nice when something actually does what it’s advertised to do?!
I have been pleasantly surprised by the STEALTH rod holder, model QR1-MM…$25.43 on Amazon, combined with the Stealth DUPIVEXT Dual Pivot Rod Holder Extension…$18.93 on Amazon.
These rod holders are advertised… “The Stealth QR-1 allows you to just grab and pull. The same motion that releases your rod sets the hook!” It’s absolutely true!
They are quite unusual looking because they have a rubber cradle that holds and firmly grips your rod handle. All you have to do is grab your rod as if you were going to set the hook and it pulls free from the rod holder. Your rod also doesn’t roll around inside a plastic holder that’s too big for it. The rubber cradle firmly grasps the rod, so that it stays put until you place your hand on it and pull it out of the holder, which is exactly the same motion you would use to set the hook. They are absolutely fantastic! Even my daughter who knows nothing about rod holders, loves how easily this product works.
I bought one extension arm for myself which gives me about a 10-12 inch extension that puts the rod holder within my reach while I am operating my tiller controlled mercury 9.9 hp motor.
I had purchased Scotty rod holders (a great product) and had already installed two of them on my johnboat. Then I noticed the stealth model and began to research YouTube videos on this product. I was so impressed that I ordered four of the stealth rod holders and replaced the Scotty brand and returned them to Amazon. (I am totally in love with how easy it is to return items to Amazon if you are not fully satisfied.)
I am not receiving any sort of reward from Stealth to promote their product. I am just one very satisfied customer that thought I would pass along my good fortune and newfound knowledge about rod holders to my fellow fisherman on FishingStage.com.
Here are some photos of what the rod holders look like on my little 12 foot johnboat. Let’s go catch some fish… And if none are biting, then let’s just have a fun day on the water! Beavertooth

Do they go into a Scotty base? I have used a similar device on a buddies boat. They are cool. Takes a bit of muscle to pull rod out of his but once use to it I’m sure it’s better for initial hook set

I did read that they were a fit for a Scotty rod holder so I gave it a try before I sent my Scotty products back to Amazon. They do in fact fit into the Scotty mount. The stealth rod holders that I have are not the least bit stiff or difficult to release. The rod pulls free from rubber cradle very easily. It does not require allot of effort. My models are the Q1 which are apparently the correct size for just a normal bass fishing rod. They also make a heavier model which I believe is called the Q2, which is designed for more heavy duty setups.
