rod holders

[salmonite]

i just purchased a boat with the ram rod holders and scotty plastic rod holders. Would they be strong enough to hold wire? or should i look into something different.

I would look into something that is metal and dosen't swivel when a king wacks your dipsie. Or look at the thread on rod theathers!!!!

I have plastic scotty rod holders on my boat and they hold up fine just make sure they are completeley in place before puttin a rod in under pressure of a dispy set your drag loose so it pulls out line when you get a bite and not the rod

i usually set my drags real loose held with a half hitch rubberband so i dont think a hit would screw up to many things.

I have heard of guys losing an entire wire setup due to plastic Scotty rod holders. I would ditch them. Wire rods are not cheap.

With the cost of a wire setup being just about $200 and up (rod/reel/twilly/wire/dipsy/flasher/fly), I wouldn't put it in a $20 plastic rod holder.

I agree with Andy and Brian, the plastic holders will not hold up to the rigors of a wire setup and multiple king hits for an extended period of time. JMHO

my buddy has ram holders on his lund. we were planning on trying to run dipseys off them, not wire but power pro. would that be ok? also he was loooking intoo getting those berts trees for the boards since we do alot of walleye fishing, can we put dipseys in thoseor would the rods be to high and straight up?
