About Us
"Made by fisherman for fisherman"
Welcome to Hoovers II, the market leader in rod holders for live or cut bait fishing. Owner and master machinist Jerry Hoover designed and fabricated each rod holder to the utmost standards, using high quality stainless steel for life long protection against rust or corrosion. Simply put, this will be the last rod holder you will ever have to purchase in your life and can be handed down to future generations. Each rod holder is handmade and inspected for quality assurance prior to shipment. Jerry is a perfectionist and if you value your boats appearance, than Hoovers II rod holders will provide that professional look as well as provide excellent protection against your rod and reels. Whether you fish for striper, crappie, catfish, trout or salmon, you can't buy a better rod holder anywhere! Also, since Jerry puts such pride in his workmanship, not any mount would do, he has also handcrafted several types of stainless steel bases to mount to various boat types and styles. Custom removable and permanent bases are available for DuraCraft, War Eagle, Lowe, and Sea Ark aluminum boats. Universal flush and rail mount kits are also available.
Hoovers II products are hand built in the upstate of South Carolina. Each product has been tested by fisherman for more than 20 years. The inspiration to construct a well built rod holder was the result of Jerry himself who felt the need to put his rod into a holder while fishing the Santee Cooper lakes some 25 years ago. This was well before name brand, mass produced aluminum and steel rod holders were invented. Jerry, a machinist by trade experimented on several different models until finally settling on the Hoover II design sold today to thousands of fisherman all over the US.
Whether its Saltwater or freshwater fishing our products are built from the highest quality metals insuring durability for many years. We do not mass produce our products for the simple reason quality is our number one mission. Although we do have dealers that sell our products, word of mouth is our number one sales tool. Anglers that have purchased our products are constantly asked where and who they got their rod holders from. We appreciate all of customers and feel very blessed to offer them a product in which they are proud to display on their boats.
