I for one am very dissatisfied w/ the blue water design fly rod holder. The velcro strap is(was) bogus and was unravelling from day one. It did not seemed designed for serious and heavy use as opposed to gently putting the rod in the holder and carefully applying the velcro strap. My type of use; grab and pull, shredded the strap in 3 months. I said (was) before because the strap just plain pulled off a month ago.
