What is the term locked rod mean?
It sounds like you might be referring to a term related to securing or stabilizing fishing rods, but "locked rod" isn't a standard term in bass fishing. Based on the video context provided, there are a couple of possibilities that might align with what you're asking about:
-
Locking Nuts on Custom Rods: In the first video, there is a mention of "two locking nuts" on a custom rod. This feature helps to secure the reel firmly in place, preventing it from coming loose during use. This could be what you're referring to if you're talking about a rod that has a secure mechanism to keep the reel in place.
-
Rod Lockers: In several videos, there is mention of "rod lockers" on boats. These are storage compartments designed to securely hold fishing rods when they are not in use. They often have locking mechanisms to prevent theft or accidental damage. For example, the "Loc-R Bar" mentioned in the second video is a security feature that helps lock down the lids of these compartments.
If neither of these explanations fits what you were asking about, could you please provide more context or clarify your question? This will help me give you the most accurate and helpful information.

Custom Rods - What To Consider | Bass Fishing by Bass Fishing Tips & Techniques by BassResource → Off the shelf rods, I've seen them in all
different price ranges, where sometimes they just don't line up correctly. It just happens to do with mass produced rods. They're not always accurate. Some are, but not all of them. The other thing here is, look what I did here,
I upgraded the, the handle, the reel handle. Look at this. This is a Toray carbon fiber reel handle. That's the bomb, guys. That is the bomb. It's super lightweight, super sensitive, and
really strong. It's hard to get those off the shelf. With a custom rod, you can find that kind
of component. I also went with, if notice this, look at
this, you've got two locking nuts here. And this is great. Let me pull this one apart, I got it on there
pretty good. You can see it split, two locking nuts. This is a feature of the Batson components. If you guys have been fishing for a while,
you've had the knobs come loose, reels pop out during the hook set. So what do you do? You crank it down really tight. Well, over time, the reel handle breaks because
of all that pressure. The folks at Batson where thinking. They actually got a locknut that goes against
it. So now, I can just tighten it down as firm
as it needs to be and then put that locknut against it. Never gonna come loose. Great idea. The other thing is I kind of blinged out a
little bit on the guides. These are Zirconium guides.

Boat Security at Campgrounds and Hotels | Bass Fishing by Bass Fishing Tips & Techniques by BassResource → Anything that can be easily lifted and taken,
that all goes. It's either stored away in the compartments,
or I put it in my truck, or I take it into the room with me. That way, there is nothing that's easy to
be lifted. I've got a stereo on my boat and it's got
a faceplate. I take that faceplate off, I put it in the
storage container, and then I put it away in the glove box. After I'm done with that, I lock all my storage
units. Everything, every storage compartment is locked
including the glove box. Now I know that's not 100% foolproof. People with a crowbar can break into your
boat just as easy if they're prepared. However, it's gonna thwart most of the crimes
of opportunity. People that just happen to be wandering around
in the middle of the night looking for something to steal in the campgrounds, you're not gonna
be a target. Now if you wanna go a step further, you can
get something called a Loc-R Bar. I think it's L-O-C-R, that's how they pronounce
it. It's a big bar that goes across your lids,
it helps secure all your lids in place and prevents people from forcibly opening up your
rod lockers. I know some pros actually have double rod
lockers across their lids twice. Pretty safe and secure system, nothing is
foolproof. But it is a better system in case you happen
to be in an area that's really prone to crime and activity, I definitely recommend getting
one of those.

Bass Boat Organization | Tackle Storage by Bass Fishing Tips & Techniques by BassResource → So that means you've got to have a paddle. That's why it's in here. Anyway, if you look over here at this other
rod locker, a couple of things we have in here that are different. One is this rod locker holds longer rods. So any rods that won't fit in this one, we
have it in here. So that's first and foremost. Secondly, we have the other rods that we know
that we're going to get to right on the very top. Those are the longer rods, we put those right
on top, so they're easy to get to. The remaining rods in here, those are the
ones that are we're not going to probably use for the tournament. They'll just stay in here. They're easy to get to if we need them. We can find it very easily, but for the most
part, they'll probably be stay in this locker during the tournament. Again, makes it really easy to find. They're marked red, blue simple as that. The center one, this is probably the one you
guys all want to look at, my tackle. This one holds a lot of stuff. First off, it's got all the stuff that you
are going to grab during the course of the day, right there, easy to use. My pliers, I've got, my knife. This is a knife sharpener, but I use it for
a hook sharpener. You see my other videos about how to do that,
how to use it. Of course, my nippers along with my control
for the Power-Poles.

Enigma Fishing Rods | Bass Fishing by Bass Fishing Tips & Techniques by BassResource → you don't, you don't want your rod marred
up by your lure. You go out and you spend $150, $200 on a rod,
you go out and what's the first thing that happens? You hook your lure here and the next thing
you know it's all marred and faded out. Well, all our rods come with a rod keeper
for free. Once you register your rod then our rod keepers
down here. Whatever lure, jig, or weight you're using
is resting actually on the foam handle, which protects the rod. That way you can cover the reel, you can cover
your lure, and you've covered the rod and in the box or in your garage it goes, and
you don't have worry about it. Plus, it doesn't get in your way when you’re
casting. I think that everybody knows that. Again, an awesome product. Aaron really put in a lot of effort. Here's our green stick. Guys, this thing is my personal favorite if
you can believe this or not, it came off of my shoes. Glenn: Are you kidding me? Jesse: No, I walked into one of the sporting
good stores with my wife one day. I think we were last year up towards Michigan
and I said, "You know, everything is so beautiful in here." You look at the clothing, the golf section,
the kids, the sporting all fluorescent. It's really nice, really pretty and you look
off in that distance and you see a dark dingy hunting and fishing section. It scares you. I thought, "We need some life there."
