The magnet holds my rod way more securely than I expected, even with a decent bend in the tip. Being able to swap flies with both hands free is the whole reason I bought it, and it just works.

Keeps my rod out of the water while I swap flies, which saves me from fumbling one-handed. The grab holds tight even with a decent bend in the rod. Took me one trip to stop setting it down in the mud.

The magnet on this thing is seriously strong — it holds my rod rock solid while I'm tying on a new fly, no wobble at all. Being able to use both hands at the water instead of clamping the rod under my arm is a small thing that turns out to matter a lot.
