Overview
The GT13 is a hand-tightened clamp-on rod holder that mounts to round tubing, letting cyclists, kayakers and cart users carry a fishing rod hands-free. A silicone-lined clamp and aluminum base attach to bike frames, folding chairs, golf carts, scooters and boats, with a bungee cord to keep the rod from bouncing loose.
Reviewers used it on ebikes, glide chairs and golf carts, matching the wide compatibility GearTrust advertises rather than a bike-only design. One rider noted that where you clamp it matters: mounted on the top bar, the rod sits close to your line of sight, so plan the position before a long ride. Construction pairs an ABS body with an aluminum clamping base.
- Silicone-padded clamp protects the frame finish
- Aluminum alloy clamping base
- Wide slot fits rods with or without fighting-butt attachments
- No tools needed for install or removal
Who it's for
Anglers who cycle, paddle or golf-cart to a fishing spot and want their rod secured rather than balanced across handlebars or a basket. Not aimed at anyone who needs to carry more than one rod at a time.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers report it holds steady on ebikes, golf carts and glide chairs without wobbling, and installation is described as quick. One buyer had to find the right spot on the frame first, since mounting on the top bar put the rod close to their line of sight.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Hand-tightens on and off without tools
- Adjustable height and full rotation
- Bungee cord keeps the rod steady on bumpy rides
- Clamps onto bikes, chairs, carts, boats and more
- Clamp placement limited by frame shape
- Holds only one rod at a time
- Body is ABS plastic rather than metal
Performance notes
The knob-tightened clamp uses silicone pads to grip without scratching the frame, and three height settings plus 360-degree rotation let you angle the rod out of the way. A bungee strap adds a second point of contact so the rod doesn't bounce loose on rough terrain.
