Just a few photos for kicks..
I’ll never put my dipsy’s into any other rod holder than my tite-locks…
Most of my rod holders are totally removable and movable on my Lund Sportrac rail system…. The Tite locks used to be mounted on the (plastic) sportrac bases, but due to the incredible amount os strain, I just mounted those bases permanently onto the gunwhale. Still very much removable, but the bases are permanent… Much stronger connection, though.
You can see I tend to sometimes use a hodgepodge of various rod holders… but the tite locks get the dipsy rods every time.
If you are salmon fishing, also check out glangler.com. lots of good info there as well.
If you are using the smaller sized “walleye” dipsys, you might be able to get away with lesser rod holders… Homemade systems (especially if you can weld pipes to plates) can work really well, too, at potentially lower costs… I’d stay away from pvc for dipsys….
