The mermaids like to do blitzs on Rod Holders over here in the Salmon season or if you fail the attitude test.

If all of the holder is behind the Bar it is OK.
If any part of it projects forward of the bar then it must be removed unless it is physically in use IE you are heading off or coming home from fishing and has the Rods in it.
I've been told by police that they aren't even legal with rods in them,believe it or not..they did let me leave them in there,
