What is the best Rod Holder angle (0- 30-45 degrees) for all general crappie fishing? or is a adjustable holder more versatile? Also what is the better metal.... Stainless or Aluminum? Also what is the downfalls of the rod holders you have owned in the past? ...so we'll know what to stay away from.
I use Hi-tekstuff rod holders. They can be adjusted at any angle and the entire T-bar can also be swiveled to any direction. I spent some time looking at each of the rod holders and all of them seem to be missing just one thing but these. If I'm spider rigging I like for my rod tips to be a lil over a foot off the water, If I'm drift fishing I like for my rods to be at a 45 degree angle pointing up and If I'm trolling I like to stagger them. That may not be the right way but that's what works for me.
i like my home made . fulley ajustable

If you are going to use a T-bar on your boat for multiple rod holders, then I suggest a round bar. A round bar with a clamp syle base such as the one here from Driftmaster allows you to adjust the angle of your rod holder with the turn of a wing nut. If your boat has a rail on it and you want single rod holders then again I suggest the same clamps. This makes it very quick and simple to adjust the angle and direction of the rod holder.

Ditto , I'm impressed with the quality and adjustability of the Driftmaster round bar .Excellent setup for spider rigging .Quote:

The new management is trying hard to make sure all customers are pleased, there is another thread on here about all of that. www.titelok.com
The best rod holder on the market is the Driftmaster style. I personally use the 250 model T bar with the gunslinger holders.
Check out the HITEK's I just got mine on friday and used them all weekend and they are by far the best I have used. Very easy to install and adjust. As for the TITELOKS they are TERRIBLE and an absolute waste of money unless you need something to do all day like mess with your junk rod holders.
Guess I am different, but I like Bee Ready as I didn't want any drilled holes and wanted to be able to move them around if I wanted. I have one that attach's to my pedestal and is very well made and work great.
They also have them to bolt on or attach most any way you want. Had some of the others mentioned, but I like the ones I have best.
They even make one for a 5 gallon bucket, LOL!

Oh yeah and the rod angle is adjustable with a grommet that let you do just that.
