Because Phil, it is one of a kind. It is the only left handed Rod Stand in the Country, as supplied by a well known and popular and reputable tackle dealer. Trouble is I am right handed. So I just put up with it. I think it was made at 4.55pm on a Friday before a long weekend. GK, James and Neil, all said to me at Papamoa at the World Kahawai Cup. Trev you have your Rod Stand around the wrong way. And then they saw the problem with it. Damm it is a lefthanders rod stand. Still manages to do the trick though.
Perhaps I will import my next one from India or China, where they have proper quality control.
