Florida Backcountry's

The original side mounted push pole holder offers many advantages over other type holders!

TMS Shorty		TM1

Stowing your push pole when fish are spotted on the flats, and not spooking them, has never been an easy operation until now. When using the Towermate push pole holding system, developed by Florida Backcountry, your ability to easily stow your push pole silently and STAY IN FISH is maximized!

• Silent entry

The system incorporates the use of a "Soft Cleat" which is secured out of the way on the SIDE or skirt of your poling platform. The Towermate is then strapped onto the "Soft Cleat" using a marine grade Velcro. This method assures silent entry of your push pole when trying to stow it in the middle of spotted fish on the flats. HARD mounted holder (secured directly to the tower) transmit fish spooking noise through the hull when push poles are snapped and popped into them. Towermate's "Soft Cleat" mounting system carries a Limited Lifetime Guarantee, is made of durable ABS plastic and it's patented design holds push poles securely and quietly, allowing you to stay in fish longer.

• Removable

The removability of the Towermate offers other advantages as well. It can easily be removed when fly fishing from the stern (one less item to grab your fly line) as well as being able to use it as a pocket worn push pole holder by turning the upper half 180 degrees and clipping it to your pocket, similar to our PoleMate!         

• Safety on the Poling Tower

Towermate is mounted on the SIDE of your poling platform, rather than on top offering a safety advantage over other top mounted push pole holders. Side mounting keeps your platform clear of protruding obstacles, minimizing the possibility of tripping over top mounted holders and causing injury from a fall, especially on the higher towers being offered on today's new flats skiffs. Side mounting also reduces the amount of vertical clearance needed to back your skiff into your garage which is of monumental importance when only a few inches keep you from being able to do so.

• Value

Towermate is also available in the "Shorty" model and does an excellent job at a most affordable price.

Both models are will within the budget of most anglers.
