A little help please…

I am looking at getting some rod holders for my boat. My boat is a fiberglass boat. Which of these would mount the best on my boat. Thanks in advance

ok, this might seem a little bit funny seeing how I am a bass guy, but have you thought about putting ranger rails on your boat and then using thier rod holders that you can slide up and down that rail and even take off. just a suggestion.

I’d be looking into Folbe rod holders myself, they work slick, I’d probably rail mount them in a perfect world, If you already have the rails great, otherwise you’ll end up spending a bit extra to get a set from the factory or a set made for the boat, gives you a bit more flexibility, without drilling anymore holes than you need for the rails.

Let me find a link or two….

I would also go with rails and rail mount your holders. This way, you drill the minumum number of holes in your glass hull, and retain the flexibility of being able to move your holders to whatever position you want.

Check with Skeeter Boat Center about installing your rails if you decide to go that route….they’ve been doing a great job of making modifications, additions, and upgrades to a variety of tin and glass boats. Call Dan Meyer (715-833-2662) with any questions you may have or for a quote.

I have the ones you have listed. I also got a couple of the similar kind with locking ring. 11 years old and I still like them. They worked on king salmon last fall.

I have both the locking ring type and the quick draw type and I think I like the locking ring type better because if you want to aim your rod down or behind the boat, you won’t lose your rod on a fish or a snag. I have both flush mounts and the standard mounts mounted on my decks with the extenders. One the deck you’ll never see the screw holes because of the carpets if you move or take them out. Flush mounts are more permanent. Also, the flush mounts seem to be less stiff.

I run Lund. I decided on the Folbes, then added rails so I could do like those above suggested, move my rodholders, where ever I needed to! I pull Mag Dipsys with the ring, and have 20+ pound Kings whack away, no problems. Great rod holder!
