Rod Holders

Recommended Posts

I decided not to hijack the already popular trolling thread but wanted to ask if you know what rod holders allow you to adjust the angle down enough to stick the tip of the rod in the water. On our rige now we have a bunch of Roberts (cheap but decent) and a Fish-On but neither of them give me the ability to point the rod down. Having the tip catch some of the floating weeds on these metro lakes to keep them from sliding down the line would sure be nice.

You should be able to angle the Fish-On holders down.

If your mounts are flush mounts, you can buy an extension that will raise your holder up about 4 inches allowing you to angle it down.

Fish-Ons are my favorite holders. Heavy duty and big-butted rods slide out easily.

I've been in jredig's old boat once or twice, you should really check it out 50inchpig. They are definitely a sweet setup, made me want to purchase some ranger rails from cabelas and drop some down east holder on my rig... problem is the rails and holders aren't cheap and tough to fly under the fun monies radar. haha

Another vote for the down east salties. Have used ram and scotties in the past, but none compare to the strength of the down east. You just rotate them around the rails to set your angle down to put the tips in the water, or up high if you're running boards. The only down side (other than price) is that some reels (large diameter w/ narrow bodies) don't like to sit down in them quite as nice, but most muskie reels fit just fine.

What do they say, possession is 9/10's of the law? winkwhistle

I was a bit surprised to hear the Ranger is now powered by a Honda! Also, since ownership is in question, who has to clean it when Sunny, Tucker, or Brinks takes a leak in it?

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
