Given the price, I wasn't expecting much from this rod rack, but I was pleasantly surprised. The rack assembled easily, (less than 10 minutes), held several light- to medium-weight rod/reel combos securely, and thus far seems stable despite the weight of the equipment. I have owned several rod racks over the years, and although all were considerably more expensive than the KastKing V16, from a functionality standpoint, there is virtually no difference. (If anything, the KastKing V16 is superior to the other rod racks I have owned because it has a smaller footprint.) Overall, a good product at a great price that should provide years of service.Pros:Excellent price pointHolds several rod/reel combosFunctional design, (the top tray for other equipment is nice, though the fishing line spool holder seems unnecessary)Well built/sturdy, particularly given its plastic compositionSmall footprintAssembles easily (see "cons" for additional information)Cons:Threaded nut that secures the base to the bottom tray did not go on or tighten easilyFoam inserts seem looser than comparable foam retention "clips" on other vertical rod holdersSuggestion:Great design overall, but adding a ball-bearing ring on the underside of the bottom tray would enable the product to be easily rotated in place. For some people, the inability to turn the rod holder is not an issue. But given the space-saving design, particularly for users storing multiple rod/reel combos, it makes sense to have such a feature.

This is BY FAR the best vertical rod storage rack I've ever owned. The double-tier design holds up to TWICE as many rods as some other models of the same size (16 max). My favorite feature though has to be the carry handle in the center, which is easy to reach even when the rack is fully loaded. The rack is sturdy and well-balanced but still very light weight (unlike some wood models I own) and the handle makes it super easy to carry across the basement or garage - just a super clever feature. The rotating base is spins smoothly and it has some extra compartments for pliers, spools and other misc gear. Really highly recommend yet another superior item from KastKing.

This rod rack is by far better than any similar (in design) offerings available. Easy to assemble, good design ( with the staggered heights to allow a more compact footprint ) and so far, the durability.There have been negative remarks on the "loose" rod capturing clips but this is an actual plus. They hold the rod well but allow for easy retrieving/ putting the rod back without putting stress on the rack itself. On wooden racks of similar design, the stiff clips that retain the rod actually are a negative due to the stress from the effort required to remove or replace the rod, eventually making the retaining bolts loose and the rack wobbly.

Of the floor standing rod holders I'vev tried, this was the best constructed for the money. It appears to be solidly made of plastic, and fits easily together. The staggered heights of the rod butt supports do as they say - prevent reels from hitting each other. However, the stand only works with small to medium diameter poles because of the width of the grooves the poles must fit into. This precludes using the holder for the larger diameter saltwater rods or surf rods without modification. Moreover, the rubber fingers holding even the smaller rods in the grooves tended to slip loose if the rod diameters were small and the rods heavy, which can pull the rod out of the grips.In my case, I solved this problem by making bungee ties to secure my rods in the rack that either the rubber fingers wouldn't grip or the rod diameters were too large to fit in the grooves (see second photo). Once that was accomplished, the rack worked just fine.If you are storing smaller freshwater rods or smaller diameter saltwater rods that don't have heavy reels, this rack is perfect for you. However, with larger diameter rods or rods having heavy reels, you will need to make another provision for securing the rod to the rack besides the grooves provided in its design.

Pretty much a waiste of money if you put anything but bare rods on this thing. I have 7 rods on it. Mostly light trolling gear for trout and walleye and it can't even handle them. It leans all over the place and if you even look at it wrong rods are falling out of it. The rods I have in it are lamiglass 10' kokanee trolling rods and and 10'6" medium heavy action rods I use for trolling as well 20 and 30 series reels and this thing is super flimsy the foam fingers to hold the rods don't even hold them are not stiff enough to keep the rods in and rods fall out very easily. pretty big waste of money.

My rods use to just prop up against the wall. Now I am able to keep them organized and ready for use. I would definitely recommend it!
