I just went through the same thing. You won't find anything used, at least I didn't. The best rod holders I think are Hi-Tek, you can order them at Home for $85 for a 4 rod set up. As far as the double seat goes, I didn't want to spend the money so I'm using two 5 gallon buckets with a cushion. The rods I got from BassPro for $34 a piece. They were BassPro Crappie Maxx Signature Series IM6 14ft. The web site has them at $49 but I bought 2 yesterday at $34 in St. Charles, don't know why, unless they were marked wrong. The specs. for the rod say up to a 1/4 oz weight, but I use 3/4oz and have no problems at all. You can spend more and get trolling rods but these they work fine and have plenty of backbone.
