Rod Holder Systems...Best on Market?

**sac-a-lait** · 10-20-2007, 02:47 AM

IS it Titelok? I just bought one of theirs and for the money I'm not impressed. I like the Mr.Crappie model BUT ALL PLASTIC!!! Wally, what's up with that? Make one with metal and charge a little extra. I wanted the Mr. Crappy one but didn't want to take a chance and went with the all metal Titelok and it too seems CHEAPLY made for $100. And of course BPS only has the older Black Wider model in stock, not the one with the new and improved height adjustment rod. I sent Titelok an email about this and of course...NO ANSWER. That's just bad customer service. Like his products or not, you can at least get an answer from Wally.

Also, for the money The Crappie Killer makes some nice one's. I have his on the boat too.

Anyone have any advice or want to tell us what brand they think is best? And I want it to be one you can buy ready to hold multiple poles, not something you got piece-mill together.

So far we have:

www.mrcrappie.com
www.thecrappiekiller.com
www.perottibilt.com
www.driftmaster.com
www.titelok.com

www.hitekstuff.com
www.beereadyllc.com

Keep them coming...POLL COMING SOON!!!

I can only have 5 photos per post so I will make a new post with the one's listed but not shown here. The links to the pictures/attachments of each product matches how they're listed above in the links to their websites.

www.perottibilt.com is the place to get the best built,sturdy and easiest to adjust rod holders on the market imho.

I had driftmasters on my first boat and had no problems with them. They are fully adjustable and very sturdy. On my current boat, i have special made rod holders from the crappie hole. Like them both.

I use drift masters and I like them.

Sac, I am no crappie pro, and I have only had two kinds of T-bar setups. Driftmasters and these. They are built by a fellow in NC. I really like the quick pivot adjustment. The top cradle is mated to the shaft by the flats, held together by the cap nut with the attached handle. Very easy to adjust rod tip heights. The first pic is not my boat, but the second pic are my holders for a close up of the holder.

Notice that the holders are different for each side, to help with rod removal.

He doesn't really mass produce them or market them. Kinda a word of mouth thing I think so I'm not going to post his name on hear. If you are interested, I can PM you his info.

Enjoy your search.

Doing what I do for a living, I mostly build my own stuff, but I have looked
at the Hi-tek from Callshy on here, they are nice and worth looking at -
Several of the guys in our club have them and are really happy with them.

I use Callshy's on the bow and Black Widow Ultra on the back. They are both good but if I had to do it over I'd have Callshy's all around.
