Somewhere in Texas - A Swiftcast Photo Essay

I recently had the opportunity to show some friends what central Texas Hill country fly fishing is all about, while testing out the new Swiftcast Rod Holder from Riversmith. Fortunately, The scenic beauty and amazing fishing did not disappoint, and neither did the SwiftCast Rod Holder. 

While the bass fishing was epic, the river was actually extremely low due to recent drought conditions, and the swift cast made it easy to hop in and out of the boat while portaging without having to worry about stepping on unsecured rods.

This is especially useful in our rocky hill country rivers where the riverbed can be uneven and challenging to navigate. It was also nice to have a place to store rigged rods at the ready for quick fly changes without having to re-rig. Not to mention, it was super easy to install and adjust. 

All in all a great addition to any raft frame, providing convenience, durability, and peace of mind while while doing what we love best. Spending time on the water.  

The Swiftcast Rod Holder is available for ordering and shipment today.
