No drill spider rig...

[JRB]

I need some help coming up with a quick way to mount some spyderloks in a no drill way. My partner and I are having to fish out of his BassCat this weekend in our Championship tournament and he doesn't want to drill any holes in the deck. I have the EZT Pole Perch dbl seat mount. Trying to come up with a quick design to build tomorrow. Bee Ready used to make a pedestal clamp style but it had been dis-continued. Thanks for any help.

Fastest/easiest way I can think of is to make a T out of 2x4's .... drill a hole for the EZT pole to fit thru at the bottom of the T, allowing the board to lay flat on the bottom of the boat, and make the top of the T long enough to reach across the front of the boat ... then attach your rod holder bases to it. Might depend on whether you have a foot controlled TM or not, but even a upside down triangle shape with the 2x4's could be used to accommodate the foot pedal, if you do.

Thanks Pappy. I came up w this about 3am this morning while I should have been sleeping. There’s a couple of things that need tweaking but it will get us by this weekend.

I added another cross brace out towards the spyderloks.

Looks good. I have many sleepless night designing or building in my head.

Maybe a couple screws points sticking down to grip the carpet to keep from swinging around side to side.

That’s a good idea lugnutzz but we used it for 8 hrs today and it never moved. This is my partners boat that he bass fishes out of so I don’t want to be putting any screws in it. I’m looking for another fiberglass boat and I’ll screw the plates for the Spyderloks down in it. This will probably be the only time it gets used is this weekend. Lol.

Looks good,years ago I machined a bracket that clamped to my seat post to use a driftmaster T bar without drilling into my boat and it worked well.

The only thing we found that needed attention was we have to take the left side down to deploy TM and it needs a piece of 1/4" metal as the cross brace. That small aluminum allows it to shake side to side a lil bit. Other than those things, we were really pleased with it.
