Rod holder question

[FurFlyin]

For spider rigging, pushing and/or pulling which rod holder system is best, and why is it better than the others?

I second that! I love my spyder loks! They are very versatile and very sturdy! Easy and quick to adjust! Cant say enough good about them. Plus Mr. Gene (EZpoleholder) is a great guy to deal with.

If you want one style to do it all then you will like spyderloks. They are very good. Singles like driftmaster crappie stalkers or titelok widow makers are better for spider rigging in my opinion but you can't pull with them.

Thanks for all the replies and looks like a unanimous decision. I will give him a call

I prefer the Hi-tek style rod holder system, myself. Basically because I don't like grabbing for the rod and having my hand/wrist poked by the forked tines of some of the other style rod holder systems. I've never owned anything but Hi-tek rod holders, but I have fished from other boats with the forked tines style holders. My current setup works very well for me, but if it was a matter of adjusting the height of the crossbar ... I could always go to the Cumberland Crappie 360 model Rod Holder (which has an adjustable height T bar & similar style holders).
Any setup that has a bolt head or knob protruding up in the "saddle" (between the loop the handle end rests in & the notch where the front end of the handle lays) or forked tines is not going to get used by me. I don't need any "knuckle busters" or hand/wrist "pokers" delaying me from grabbing the rod as quickly as I can, especially if I have to grab the handle from that "saddle" area or past the U or V shaped tines.

I did add "knobs" to my setup, so that I'd be able to adjust the holders without the use of any tool. I don't Spider Rig often, but mainly Push jigs/cranks. And I use varying lengths of rods, so I do change the angle of the holders on occasion ... and those knobs allow me to do that by hand, on the fly. If I had it to do over again, I would consider the longer style knob that comes on the Spyderlocks ... but, as it is, mine work fine for their purpose.

Here's my setup (for clarification) :



Now, this is just MY opinion, based on my experiences, and not a promotion or condemnation or any product.
