Ram is what I use but Scotty's are nice and there is a ton of others. Cabelas has some nice ones too. See what your needs are for your boat and go from there. RAM has tons of different options that you can get to work on any boat.

I have Tempress Fish-Ons and really like them. Have also heard good things about RAM and the cabelas models (which I think are the same as Scotty??). I haven't heard anything bad about any, other than the absolute cheapest ones you can buy.

So ..... I'd try to get to one of the stores where you can see and touch them for yourself, and decide which you like the best.

I have a Lund too. I use Down East rod holders with the pro track (?) brackets. Works nice. The down easts are really heavy duty and and allow for very fast rod removal.

My $.02, Huey

I guess it depends on how new your Lund is. If it is brand new, check out the pro track rod holders you can get right from lund. I have a Scottys rod holder for myself, and love it for trolling. My buddy bought one of the cheaper Berkley rod holders and doesn't like it much at all. It feels really cheap and flimsy. But like some others said, go to cabelas or someplace like that and check them out for yourself to see what you think.

Will be putting rod holders on my boat for the first time this year. I am interested in which type I should get tube or holder system? Also I have a fiberglass boat so what kind of mount shoukd I get and should it be reinforced in any way?

Thanks

I don't have much experience with tube style holders so I can't say much about them. They don't seem very common for inland waters though.

I have a glass boat and put rails on it, and used rail mounts for my rod holders. That's probably the best way to go with glass boats unless you don't want the rails.

The Cabela's rod holders are Scotty's. They have a really nice flush mount system that if it works with your boat would do the trick.

I got some for father's day last year and I really like them.

I have these also and the flush mount system is awsome.

I don't think they are considered "Tube Style" though.

Tempress Fish-On here on both my boats.Had some of the ram ones and didn't like them. Went to all Fish-On holders.They have rail mount, side mount and flush mount.A lot better built. Little more money unlees you find them on sale.

    • 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.
