Rod Holder ?

[Wildlifedesigner]

Okay I need A few rod holders to use in my boat. Generally for trolling and baitfishing. I would like to know what brand /type of holder I should consider. I do have a scotty but dont like the fact you have so slide the rod forward befor removing the rod, Are they all like that? I know I did find on brand that you pull stait up and the rod holder opens but can not think of the brand.

I usually made my own when the ones on the boat weren't enough.<br /><br />Lengths of 2" schedule 4 PVC. I screwed them to wood or strapped them with heavy tie wraps to whatever was handy. Cost less than a buck each.

Since 90% of my fishn is trolling I use Quick Draw rod holders. The Last thing you want when you get a solid hit is to have to fight to get your rod out of the holder.<br /><br />A quick draw will allow you to do a second hookset and at the same time pull you rod out of the holder with ease. <br /><br />You can usually find them from $10 up. I use a 360ht quick draw. Since I do alot of Musky huntn this works best for me. For Bass and other game fish you probably don't need that elaborate quick draw system. I have seen some at Wally world at reasonable pricing. Do some reasearch on quick draws and choose whats best for you..

Heres a GREAT rod holder, they are made in Maine by a Maine based company I have one that is 15 years old and it still works perfect to this day.<br /><br /> http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/st...g_Feed&storeId=1&catalogId=1&categoryId=16793 <br /><br />Bass Pro Shops also sells a larger version for ocean, ect.<br /><br />-John

I will also say that I searched I-Boats before I posted the above link and did not find what I think he wanted.

Check out this company: http://www.actionp.com/marine_tier2/boat_access.html <br /><br />They are a fantastic company with a great product. I bought 2 of the rod tenders and use them for both walleye and tiger musky fishing. I can't say enough good about them. Tell em muskybob sent you.

Say, friends,<br /><br />I realize that you are trying to be helpful. That is what this BB is all about.<br /><br />What you don't realize is that if you post a link or a URL to a competitor it has a negative effect on iboats in the marketplace, even when the item you are suggesting is not offered by iboats.<br /><br />There is no harm done if you simply suggest that a poster check out a particular competitor without posting the link or URL.<br /><br />So, if you do what Johnshan did with his BassPro suggestion, instead of what he did with the LLBean suggestion you still help the poster find a particular item and cause iboats no harm.<br /><br />For guys looking for a wide variety of rod holders, here is iboats' listing. http://www.iboats.com/mall/index.cg...41372321&*******=846754198&search_type=recent <br /><br />Thanks,
