FAQs
Swiftcast was designed as a universal solution that is adaptable to almost any raft. Learn more about the exact tube configurations for rafts by manufacture HERE.
Swiftcast is designed to protect a single rod. While you may be able to load a second rod, it is likely it one will be damaged as the reel box is designed to only secure one reel. We strongly recommend not carrying two rods in a single Swiftcast. You can, however, mount multiple Swiftcasts onto your raft.
Yes. The tube end cap is designed to be removed, which will allow longer rods to be carried. Please note, however, that the end of the rod will be exposed so do so at your own risk.
