Thread: Spyderlok rigging question

Off set seat posts will move your seats about six inches forward

I mounted mine where I can sit in the seat and have plenty of room to turn and such but can reach them fairly easly. Dont get em TOO close, take into consideration that someone fishing with you way be a bigger person. I like to have room to move around, swivel to get the net without bumping the other person and such.

Mount em where you can reach them easy. Leaning forward ALL DAY is hard on the lower back, and you will miss more fish reaching for the rods when the bite is lite. "G" nailed this one both times.

You can thank me later.

This is how I did mine.....trolling motor is not in the way the way I mounted it. And I have since changed to Spyder Lok rod holders and also added a adjustable stand for my fish finder.

I Also changed to Millenium seats.

Ok, Ok!!! You were right twice "G"ewber. Don't push it. This ain't no advertising thread.

G's boat is clearly different than mine. See my first pic. His seats are way closer to the front bow deck. Both of our bow decks are short, but his seats are way closer.

Maybe I'm being anal about all this........but just have no frame of reference like y'all do.

I guess there's two thoughts.......one is that it's just holes in my deck!! I can always drill four more if they are in wrong place. Two is that I guess I'll put them in a compromise and get them closer to me, and just use 12 and 14' rods........and hope for the best. And if that doesn't work, I can fall back to the Dubl-Seat and moving them closer to the front, I guess. Not sure what else to do.

Thanks for the assistance, guys.

Buy 16' foot poles and put the holders close to you.
