About Rod Saver
Rod Saver has been a trusted name among fishing, boating, and outdoor enthusiasts for over 40 years. Founded in 1982 and based in Kansas, the company set out to solve a simple problem: keeping rods, reels, and boats secure during transport and on the water. What started as a focused line of rod-securing products grew into a comprehensive catalog of marine tie-down and boating accessories, all proudly designed and manufactured in the USA.
What sets Rod Saver apart is its commitment to made-to-order, customized production. Rather than mass-producing generic hardware, Rod Saver engineers each product with specific boating and fishing use cases in mind — the result of real input from professional anglers and seasoned boaters. The brand's attention to detail shows in the materials: from heavy-duty webbing and stainless steel hardware to UV-resistant coatings built to withstand the harsh marine environment.
What Rod Saver Makes
Rod Saver's product lineup spans several essential marine categories. Their flagship offering — the namesake rod-securing straps — keeps fishing rods organized and protected on deck or in transit. But the brand has expanded well beyond rod management. Today, their catalog includes:
- Transom Tie-Downs — Available in 1-inch and 2-inch widths, with standard and retractable options, these are among the most popular in the industry for trailering boats safely.
- Gunwale Tie-Downs — Engineered for a secure fit along the boat's gunwale, keeping the hull firmly in place on the trailer.
- Winch Straps — Heavy-duty straps with safety hooks for loading and securing boats to trailers.
- Stainless Steel Tie-Downs — Premium corrosion-resistant hardware for saltwater and freshwater environments alike.
- Trolling Motor Accessories — Replacement ropes, tie-downs, and trays designed to work with leading trolling motor brands.
- Dock Lines & Marine Accessories — Including personal watercraft tie-downs, rod wraps, reel covers, and boat carpet graphics.
