The Millennium Rod

Transport Rack

“Rod Transport at a Low Cost”

By Bernard Williams

I ran into an old friend, Gene “EZ Pole Holder” Johnson the other
day. I asked him what was his latest invention? “I’ve got
something you would love, it’s a Rod Transport System that
carries 8 poles with ease and convenience. It allows you to
identify and separate your rods and protect your tips from

breaking. It’s perfect for two or more group fishing trips. It’s easy
to remove and it comes with the Spyder Lok adjustment teeth for
a sure lock.” Gene says, “On top of that the system comes with a
1-year warranty”.

Gene is one of the engineers/inventors of the famous SpyderLoc Rod Holders and the Sidekick Fishing

Seat. Every time I visit his shop, he’s got something new on the workbench. This man is a genius when it
comes to making and inventing new things to make crappie fishing more convenient. There’s no telling
the things this man has brought to market. I only know of a few, but there are many.

I put this rod transport system on my boat to make it easier to get my poles in the water. Tournament
fishermen must utilize their fishing time to the second. Every second your poles are out of the water,
you’re not catching fish. This system allows you to get your poles in the water quickly, no more tangled

tips, broken tips, and rods laying all over your boat deck.

It makes moving from spot to spot much easier. My partner and I can roll up and move in minutes when
we get to a spot, we can get our poles out a lot quicker.

Gene recommends the dual set for poles 16’ and under, for poles 18’ and over he recommends the 3rd
stand. The transport system sells for under $180 and free shipping.
He’ll sell the 3rd stand for $90. That’s not bad considering the
benefits this system provides.

The R300 Transport Rack can be purchased online at Gene’s website,
www.ezpoleholder.com. This system is designed for years of use, the

All Aluminum Construction will not rust or fade. It doesn’t deface
your new boat and it can be easily removed.

Gene actually has a double set on his boat allowing him to transport
16 rods on one side. These rods can be folded down once the poles
are removed. I fish out of the side of my boat. I remove my rods and
fold the rod stand inside the boat and they’re completely out of the

way. It works great. I don’t think there is a better solution on the
market. I know of on other way to protect your rod
investment on the lake or on the highway.
