Do you need to take the rod out of the holder in order to attach this? Mine are permanently in? Or does it fit 'over' the existing rod?

no need to take out rod; it velcros over the rod. Had trouble with zipper breaking with only a bit of use, though. I still bought second one which is okay so far with little use of opening and closing.

It fits over the rod and over the whole hanger also. The plastic velcros over the rod so you don't need to remove the rod to install. Then it has little plastic rings that help stand the plastic up over the rod.

No it is open at the top with a Velcro closure so that you can wrap it over the bar. It requires about 15 seconds to attach but you will have a little extra to do straightening out the folds and fluffing it up then you open the zipper down the front side to install your clothes on the bar.

You can install it with the rod, or without the rod. The rod length is fixed; it's short.

The other answers kind of set the tone. No, in order for the rod holders to work properly they need to be mounted using the provided brackets. The brackets are not difficult to mount but do require two holes to be drilled per bracket. Once mounted, the holders work great.

Yes it is! That was one of my concerns as well. It is sufficient to hold the rod in place. I have had mine for 2 years now and love it!

You can remove the little tray at the bottom that holds the straws, but the rod would stay in place just hanging there. You could either cut the rod out or take it to the hardware store and ask them to find you a little bolt that is threaded the same to use in place of the rod.

The side rods are about 35.5" from the top of the hook that fits over your existing rod to the bottom. If you use the lowest position for the horizontal rod, your new rod will be about 34" below the top of your existing rod.

Yes, no need to remove the rod from the wall on either end... this has a slit that runs the entire length of the cover.

The standard rod holders are pretty insufficient. I added a skotty fly rod holder. The storage bags that come with it are fantastic. I have a "K-Pump" that I got with a different boat that works great. Hope this helps....

This is a fixed angle rod holder however I will say that I installed it on my wife's TINY Kayak and had no problem with clearance. The angle is more for ensuring your rod points out the back and not strait upwards...

Yes, just twist. Easily removable, very sturdy and adds a nice decorative touch. Love this rod.

Hi, I really don't know because I didn't keep the rod. It was not really the quality or design I was hoping for. Sorry.

You need to match the manufactures (NAME) to the rod. The threaded part of the rod needs to fit.

If the connecting rod is too long, you can just bend it more until it fits. If the rod is too short, then you are out of luck.

Just checked mine. Yes, the ball unscrews from the rod. The threaded part is attached to the ball. The end of the rod is flush, with a hole for the ball to screw into. The rod is a great addition to my closet. Seriously considering buying a few more, actually.

I am not home right now, but I can check later. I don't know if there is a way to attach a picture, but I have one of how the rod sits in the holder. Mine sits with about 4 inches sticking out before the base of the my open reel. I do not have a pistol grip on my rod so I am not sure how it will sit. Even though my reel sticks out quite a bit sometimes it sits kind of awkward if I am not careful about how I set it in, this could just be because of the angle I set it in in my kayak...sometimes the rod spins and the reel hits the side of my kayak. Over all I am happy with the holder and may even buy another one to hold a second rod. I am not home right now, but I can check later.

You can place hangers on the bottom brace of the bracket similar to using over the door hangers. The rod is removable.

You need to have your own ends. It comes with a plastic thread protector on the end. These are Extremely high quality cleaning rods that will not damage your rifle. I bought both sizes.
