Keith Avery –
The launch pad works well on our raft. The spikes keep the line secure during casting and release smoothly when needed. The orange color stands out and the silicone is durable even after several uses in the sun.
Amelia Coleman –
Easy to attach with the corner straps. The reservoir holds water well and helps with line shooting. Sinks quickly if dropped, which is a good safety feature.
Edward Turner –
Perfect for our drift fishing trips. The mat stays in place and the line management is much smoother than before. No signs of wear after two weeks of use.
James Thomson –
Works as expected, but the spikes need to be oriented correctly. Once set up properly, it’s reliable and keeps the line organized.
