you can see them in my youtube videos, my channel name is justahobbyoutdoors. I have hooked 10 plus pound cats and large striper, no problem with sturdiness. Only issue i ever had was a knob that tightens down a individual holder worked loose, luckily all components fell in the boat and not on the road. I absolutely love mine and have four sets in the boat. I went with these so i can take them out st the base plates when i walleye fish in the midwest and had the adjustability i needed for my deep v. Btw i get no kick backs for speaking highly of them, just a satisified customer.
