I like the replaceable black plastic grippers, they are unique to me. They hold not only top kits but rods and pole sections as well. On the minus side, it’s a bit heavy, due to the adjustable mechanism. Which unfortunately doesn’t quite reach across my MAP large side tray.
As with all Preston Innovations pieces of kit, it’s well made and sturdy. I will find a work around to make it fit, or simply fasten one end to a spare leg.
Can’t wait to use it and stop my top kits from blowing around in strong winds.
Ps. This was cheaper than the smaller one and will allow space between the rods and reels.P
