    Default Hi-Tek Rod Holder question....


    Looking to order two rod holder today and I was looking at the Hi-Tek but I notice that the base only has two bolt fastener only, one in the front and one in the back. Will this even be stable when you have 4 rods on it?

    Most of the rod holder base I see have 4 bolt pattern.

    It has four to hold the base plate to the boat....the other part is a dovetail that slides in that base and is locked in place by one bolt. Yes it is very stable.

    Why did you think the base only had two fasteners? Trying to make sure I do not need to change some photos somewhere.

    Scott, on grizzlyjig's website they had one picture only and it just shows the rod holder with one bolt fastener so I was assuming there was another bolt fastener on the back too. Here is the picture I got from their site Name:  Hi-Tek picture.jpg

    I didn't see a base anywhere on this photo but I did see that they sell extra base plate for these. I hope that the two Hi-Tek rod holder I bought comes with the bottom base.
