Dave seems like an awesome guy and I don't doubt that one bit. I found a great deal on some used stuff from Traxstech. So I plan on getting their trolling bars and using Ciscos adjustable gimbals. I just have to make sure I get the right piece to marry with Traxstech's trolling bar.

I only see tracks on that link no trolling bar.

Cisco adjustable Gimbal for Traxstech trolling bar. I wish Cisco made a Trolling Bar but it seems they don't. I talked to Dave from Cisco about a custom build and emailed him my info. Unfortunately I leave for vacation soon and need the boat rigged and I have not heard back yet. I'm wondering if I Purchase Cisco adjustable gimbals will they work with a traxstech trolling bar? What piece will I need to make the connection? Thanks!

Thanks man! But track and trolling bar are very different.

With you experience in this field how hard would it be for someone who has never used CAD to actually get it right? Sent the company a design and have them get it back.

Don't those companies only offer competitive pricing to large quantity orders? Group buy? Hahaha who needs trolling bars? We can see how much it would be for 50 of them or something.

Since the lift and turn racheting holders by Traxstech are so pricey and the Cannon Dual Axis have less than stellar reviews I am now also looking for the Traxstech RH-1 style holder. Lift and turn, pull and adjust with no racheting function. I think these will suit me well. Will just have to pull the rod out in the position it's in. Thanks.

You are saying buy 80/20 stock and have someone make trolling bars, gimbals, and rod holders? Then get it shot peened to match Traxstechs finish?

I hear ya man I'm just a primadonna! Do I need the expensive stuff? Nope. But I still buy it.

Wow! That looks great. I'm hoping to get the basic trolling bar and rod holders setup before I go camping at Fish Creek Ponds. I won't bother with downriggers. I want to be able to flatline for small mouth and pike. Unfortunately I leave for vacation like the 23rd so we shall see!

I wish I had the kind of personality that allowed me to use practical cheap methods that work well to solve problems. Unfortunately for me when it comes to my toys everything has to be just so or it drives me bananas. If something is off or not right on my boat it will bother me my entire day fishing. I am a begger and a chooser hahah. I don't have the money but I want everything just right.

That's awesome! But it would drive me crazy I'm way to anal about things to do that.

There is a joint in the picture I noticed but it looked off center. Like maybe it's a 5 foot section and a 3 foot? Is there any way you could send me a picture of your setup on your secondary boat? Are you using gimbals or hard mounts?

Thank you! Looks like the long 8 foot trolling bar. That would be too long for me. I will be using gimbal mounts in flush mounted holders that are 38 inches apart so I can't go longer than around 6 feet. As far as I'm concerned those fixed rod holders would be useless for me as well. Appreciate your response!

Looking for traxstech equipment. Looking for ratcheting rod holders, 4 gimbal mounts, and 2 6' trolling bars. Willing to purchase items from other companies that are compatible. I am located in NY but will certainly pay shipping for the right items. Thanks guys!
