ROD HOLDERS

[Crappiegirl1]

Is there any issues with rods coming out of hi teck holders?

I have all three versions. For trolling; the best is the extreme version due to the taller, straight sides. When out the side of the boat, I have had rods twist in the elite version but never when they are used out the back. I do elevate the tips a little so that it wouldn’t be a straight out the back pull if something big hit or it got hung. Never lost any with them used out the back like that. The original were great for spider rigging but lacking sides I didn’t trust them as much as the 2 newer versions. My money to be spent again, all extreme’s. Hands down the best. All adjustments with 1 half inch wrench and no knobs to get lines fouled on at the wrong time. Tried the knobs and took them off. Just my experience and opinion

I took my knobs off also. When back to the bolts. The knobs was always getting in the way with lines or knees. I use the extremes for back and side pulling, as well as spider rigging. I love them.

i would be pushing off the front and side. im in pontoon so no worry about knobs except i havq a problem with square rails--looing that over?\

Thanks for the feedback. i went to the sight i did not see new new ones/

IM thinking a straight out the front pull since thats where i fish from? what would keep the rod tilt down a little to just keep going as thats what i need these for is to get my poles closer to the water since that toon is soo much higher?

Do u have yours tilted downward in front at all as I will due to being a pontoon. Not sure what keeps the pole from going out of the holder?

Unless you have the reel behind the front of the holder, leaning the rods forward is a recipe to lose a rod. Spider rigging I’ve done has all the rods level with the water. If they get into the TM then you need more weight or longer rods.

On Tom's pontoon we fish the rods just a little above horizontal when pushing jigs. Using 18 and 20' rods they tend to get pulled under water when a good fish hooks up. Don
