    Default Tracker pro 170 rod holder placement

    I have searched this place over pretty good before asking. Would any of you gentlemen mind posting pictures as to where to install rod holders on this style boat? I purchased 2 4 rod spyder loc Millennium rod holders and am struggling to place them where they will be reachable and still be able to deploy the TM and climb in the bow when I'm fishing alone. Im thinking I may just have to remove the starboard holder and put it in place after I launch alone every time. I will be trying spider rigging and long lining from the front. I'm wondering if I should just buy 2 more 2 rod holders for the front and have these for the back, I don't think I can handle more than 4 rods at a time anyway.
    This is a great informative forum, I have learned a lot.
    Thanks

    It dont have a Tracker but.... placed mine where the end of the rod handles are 6 inches in front of my knees....I have two seats side by side on the front of my boat. That way i dont have to lean way forward to grab a rod and set the hook. The way I mounted my TM I do not have to move anything. Some guys just loosen the knob on the rod holder t bar and turn the rod holder when deploying or stowing TM. If it's not raining tomorrow i will take a pic for you.

    I have 6 separate bases installed.
    I can long line from the back or the front
    Spider rigging with 14 foot poles out front.

    Best of luck with the new ride!

    Got a question on your rod holder bracket, what are the different color tapes for?

    He addressed that a couple of replies ago. Basically it's for identification of which rod has a bite, when the other person isn't paying close attention. So he can say ... blue pole or yellow pole ... and the person sitting behind those poles can quickly see which pole he needs to grab & set the hook.

    Mount them just like slow ride did his but make sure they will clear your knees like G said and make sure you don’t have to lean to much to remove from holder. I suggest mounting base to small piece of plywood and move them around while sitting in seat to make sure you comfortable. Then just buy a extra set of bases and mount them like slow ride did his second set doing same thing with plywood. That way you only have to have the 2 sets of holders and move them around.
