ABOUT RAP SYSTEMS RAP Systems pipes are a tackle investment that you can take with you from boat to boat just like your fishing poles. We have found through the last few years that so many of our customers share the same stories of how difficult it is to fight these large fish down on their knees. We created a fulcrum point to help every angler young and old to catch the fish of their lifetime. We chose 1-1/2 inch T316 marine grade stainless steel tubing for our pipes because of its strength and durability in the marine environment. Each pipe is handmade, not factory-built to ensure that each top is tuned before it is sold. We mandrel bend each pipe to a specific degree and notch the bottoms so they fit into the rod holder and lock into place securely. Our top U-shaped saddle is made from a 1/2 inch solid stainless round bar so it will never bend and is mirror polished to assure your line will not get frayed if it touches it. The tops of our pipes are milled from 1-1/2 inch solid stainless round bar and then center drilled to allow the U saddle to be fitted. The top is then welded to the top of the pipe and the weld is ground smooth. The pipes are then sent to the polishers where they are polished to a mirror quality. Care for our product is very simple, just rinse with soap and water after use and towel dry. It is recommended that you apply a coat of wax every season to protect the surfaces. If your gunnels are hitting you from your knees to your thighs, this is the pipe for you.
