Just what the title says....anything and everything related to Rods, Reels, Terminal Tackle, Plastics, what others are using, what works, what doesn't work, and anything else you want to talk about regarding equipment.

Rod holders

Post by Jimmy_1 »

Apart from the SALTY crew

What are other good rod holders for musky?
Doesn't seem to easy to find here in O-Town...

I want to mount them on the boat gunnels and be able to remove them once the cover is back on.

Please DO NOT say Trojan Tackle....$700 for a set up is a bit steep.

Hey Jimmy,
I see FishnTech has the Cannon clamp mount rod holders on special right now.

I don't know much about rod holders, but the Cannon system's quiet a sturdy system.

Depending on the gunnel and the angle you plan on having the rod at,.. Scotty (can't remember exact model) makes a pretty tough holder.

Most musky guys do not trust the plastic rod holders as a 50 incher taking off is a real strain on the plastic.
They use the down easters that are available at Sail for not too much more than the Cannon or Scotty.
Some guys mount them on the transom as their boat cover is not tight there.
