[QUOTE="TrackerTom, post: 102803, member: 1679"] I can't take credit for the entire setup, but only for the mods I made to them. These rod holders came on another boat I had and I kept them when I sold it. The bases were screwed down all over the place on the other boat. I think there were 17 of the square ones like in the pics and there were like 9 smaller ones too. Anyway, I couldn't stand the thought of drilling that many holes in my new boat. The gunnel has a rail system that uses carriage bolts so I modified them with the help of my machinist and his lathe, by getting some round stainless 3/4" stock and boring it for a close tolerance fit so they would be strong when mounted with stainless carriage bolts and wing nuts to the gunnel. The rode holders and bases are all stainless except the curved part that holds the rods, which is aluminum. The biggest fish I've had pull on them so far was a striper about 15 lbs and it didn't budge. [/QUOTE]
