The Guardian Pole Tender is the end result of years of using other "wire type" rod holders for icefishing.  They were easily tipped over and were designed just to set the rod into.  Setting the hook on a fish sometimes was difficult due to the fact that you had to remove the rod from the holder.

      The mere 9 1/2 oz. Guardian is not easily tipped over and when you have a strike to your lure, you don't have to remove your rod from the Guardian.  Just grab your rod and set the hook.

       The Guardian Pole Tender has been developed to reduce or eliminate the loss of your expensive rod, reels, and tackle due to the accidental dropping of your rod over an open hole, or the possibility of a fish dragging your equipment down the hole.

       The Guardian Pole Tender is fully adjustable for rod angle, and made to universally fit most icefishing rods.  They can be secured with tape or with the provided nylon ties.  The Guardian can also be taken apart and stored easily.  It has three parts held together with two thumbscrews making it very rigid.  The Guardian is also self storing to fit into most tackle boxes. 

       The Guardian is made from polypropylene-copolymer that is rated to -70* below zero.  It is well made and should last many years of normal use, while providing you with the confidence of having your rod and reel safe from loss and to have it in an easy to reach adjustable position.
