I have tries several pole holders, but I like this arrangement the best (so far).
These are the Bee Readys on the PerottiBuilt that My pal Mr T. modified to fold for yours truly.
I don't do much trolling. I just rest my arm on occasion and need a pole holder while resting. Lifting heavy fishes wears me arm out.:)
Most time I only uses one pole. Most count, 3.
