After almost loosing a pole to a well fed carp I decided to bite the bullet and get rod holders, but I could use some advice as to where to put them. I fish mostly in a river, anchored with the bow pointing upstream. I cast out the bait downstream and wait. Usually I just lean the poles, one in each corner, against the transom. For this application I would put them as far back as I could. However I would like to try trolling for walleyes in the river and in some of the local lakes. For this I considered moving them a bit forward towards the bench where I sit. (My boat is a 12'er and I usually fish alone, so I don't see any need to put any holders up front.)
What has been your experience with where and where not to place rod holders?
Thank you.
