Wondering if anyone here has tried or know of someone that has used these rod holders from Grizzly Jig? https://grizzlyjig.com/p-108-bolt-on-rod-holder.aspx

On a budget and wanting to rig my 14' jon boat. Thought about using some square aluminum tubing and some all thread for the T-bars. Any information on these would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My projects to save money usually end up costing me more.
