it is listed as the back one set at 1.5 and 20' less line out as the middle one.

you can't worry about the cost! if you figure all the costs involved in fishing and not catching you will never pay even close to the market as you will spend to go fishing. but that's just my opinion. LOL, for what it's worth. I look at it like this if the rod is out the side it may have a little more stress because it's at 90 degrees. but I use Cannon ratcheting rod holders and can set the front one tilted up and the middle one tilted about half as high as the front one then the back one set at 90 degrees will spread the lines out at different angles, but that's using 3 divers per side. I use 3 lite bite slide divers per side for walleye fishing on Erie. I run all of them at 90 degrees out the side and I don't have any lines tangled while trolling. I do use 3 different-length rods which makes it easier to read the lines. I have a 9' in front and the 2nd one is 8' set 20' less than the front diver set on 4.5 and the 2nd diver set at 3.0 then the back one set 20 less than the middle one and the diver set at 1.5 this keeps us from having tangles when letting an outside diver over the inside divers.

I'm just a bit confused by the 30 degree not being as stressful on the rods and reel seats. I would think the pull on the rods and reels would be the same as the 90 degree holders unless the 30 degree is 30 degrees straight back. I run 3 lite bite rigs off each side and I need the 90 degree holders to keep the lines from getting tangled. but that's just me. I'm not trying to start a dispute about them just giving my input on my way of thinking.

whacker just made a post with a link to buy holders for flush mount holders. you might want to check them out.

these are the best ratcheting holders in my opinion because of the one hand operation. you can adjust the up and down with one hand if you have your fishing rod in the other hand. your price of 90.00 for new holders is a great price. the best price I know of for the same holder is 106.00 plus change and then add the tax so you save over 20.00 on each one you buy. I am happy with the single axis I have.

I started my hunting by hunting squirrels and rabbits when I was about 6 to 8 years old with my oldest brother's octagon barrel pump 22 with the pump not working so I used it as a single shot. A few years later I moved up to a 12 gauge shotgun which I used for many years for small game mostly for rabbits in Indiana and when I often visited Tennessee. I was in the Marine Corps from 72 until 76 and didn't do any game hunting during that time. After I came home, I bought an 1100 Remington autoloader and used it for small game again, but I was more interested in fishing, which included salmon fishing on Lake Michigan trolling. I mostly fished for them on Manistee Lake in the fall. In 1980 my older brother found a Savage 16 gauge autoloader in a trash can with the barrel bent looking like someone had wrapped it around a tree. It did have a tendency to jam. hew used a door to straighten the barrel. it had a full choke but I shot slugs through it and it was as true as any gun I ever shot. I started deer hunting that fall and got my first deer on the morning of the second day of my first time deer hunting. I bought a CVA 50 caliber muzzleloader kit after the gun season I had it put together and the metal was put through a black oxide which made it a smooth black then I coated the wood with a beautiful walnut stain then used a spray on clear sealant on it the gun turned out to be a beautiful gun. I used it to hunt 1 weekend that year. the 2nd year I didn't score in gun season and when muzzleloader season came in I was hunting with my muzzleloader but when a big doe was 19 steps away the cap didn't fire it was wet and filled the nipple full of crap. by the time I got the nipple cleaned and was putting another cap on they took off. I had a Ruger 10-22 I wasn't using and traded it for a recurve bow at a flea market so year three I hunted bow season and got a small doe. then gun season I got a buck and the muzzleloader season I got a doe, when they came out with the inline muzzleloaders I bought a White brand that used musket caps. but later came out with a conversion kit to use 209 shotgun primers. since then I have owned several autoloader shotguns for deer hunting and several different muzzleloaders and I've taken at least I deer for the next 25+ years but a lot of those years I took doe's with my muzzleloaders. I ended up with a Thompson Center encore that has taken many deer. I bought another Thompson Center gun for my youngest son. a few years ago I bought a new CVA 45 caliber long-range accura but I haven't taken a deer with it yet. my oldest granddaughter wanted to hunt with me so a couple of years ago I took her with my encore. but I was trying to remove the hammer tang to move to the right side of the hammer after me shooting left-handed it didn't work for her and I broke the hammer and haven't been able to find one. so I dug out the one my son no longer uses and gave it to her.
