    Default No Need To Drill!


    Being able to mount rod holders & spider rig set-ups without drilling holes IS A BIG DEAL!
    Been pondering & experimenting with ideas ,designs, & brands for a while. Well I thought I'd share my
    set up that I am satisfied with for now. & say It's nice to be able to give back. Lord knows Ive seen &
    learned a lot here at CDC.
    I mounted this setup to both, left & right cleats. 12"x12" acrylic, 1/4x3" screws, with nylon lock nuts.
    Total 14$, minus rodholders & be-ready spider rig.

    Looks like a great idea. Is there much wobble or vibration on the extension?

    That might work with them northern crappie but you'll be fishing your poles out of the lake if you bring that set-up to Mississippi!HAHAHAHA.Whats the big deal with not drilling holes...unless these are demo boats?? That rig is gonna bounce,I've built similar that came off the seat pole with a large base that didn't have the stability I wanted.The two pole holders at the rail will be fine but the T-bar with three full size trolling rods with 1/2 oz double minnow rigs in a 10 to 15 mph wind is gonna be wild.

    Thanks, I dont need it for Rod holders but it just gave me an idea about mounting it on T rail on my Wareagle. Need something for Pliers,sicssors and such. Pretty neat set up.
