Rod Holder Recommendation

[zackusaf82]

Do any of you have a recommendation for easy to install rod holders for my PT 175 TXW? I don't need many but I'd like to have around four so when I head to TX in a few months I'm ready to get after some stripers. Thanks in advance for the help!

I've tried a lot of different types over the years and this is the best I have found and used. http://hitekstuff.com/floormountholders.html

this isthe one I have on my PT175. Can't think of anything I don't like about it. http://www.basspro.com/Scotty-Power-Lock-Rod-Holder/product/20903/-699683 I think they are also available at Walmart.

Those were the ones I was looking at tonight at BPS, do you have any pics of where you mounted them on your PT175? Thanks!

I'll work on getting a pic for you. The previous owner had installed 4 of them 2 just behind the driver and passenger seats and 2 on either side of the front pedestal. All 4 are mounted on the gunwale (top rail).

Great, thanks! I'm just nervous about drilling into my gunwale...it's so pretty and untainted right now.
