Just thought I would pass along something I just did to my Big Jon triple rod holders. I superglued the red caps in place so they will never decide to go for a swim when yankin rods out of the holders.

Regular superglue seemed to do the job. Anyone else lose caps? anyone?

Yes, I had the rubber cap from one of my Bert's Rod Holders go to a watery grave last year the same way. I did the same thing with the replacement. So far so good.

Its definitely NOT a new problem Jax. However, I think you'll find that in a short period of time the Super Glue will crystallize and lose its adhesion. I've used 5 minute epoxy and (more recently) pure 100% silicone caulk with much better results. Save yourself a lot of aggravation and order a dozen replacement caps from Big Jon. I keep a box in the cabin to sell to all my "friends" who haven't learned to glue the caps on yet....HA!

I used spray glue (construction spray adhesive) to glue mine back on, 3 years now and none of them have released. I've had to order replacements from big jon before I learned.
