Versatile Rod Holders?
I am getting ready to rig my new tin deep V boat for trolling. I wanted to get some ideas from those who troll a lot
I am wanting to get set up with a very versatile rod holder system. A lot of the time I will long line troll, but also want to be able to push, and maybe even spider rig...I haven't done any spider rigging, but may want to give it a go.
Most of the time I would be using 4-6 rods, but may make occasional trips to lakes that allow more rods / person.
I would like to buy once, and have the most versatile system possible.
Any suggestions are welcome.....Thanks for any input.

Thanks JTMavs ....I posted over on the Kentucky forum also, and so far the Spyder Loks and Cumberlands and Hi-teks are all pretty highly recommended. I think they will all do the job, I'm gonna have to do some serious research to figure out which ones will work best for me ..... and get out the calculator.
Anybody have any other recommendations or want to throw in a vote for one of these?

Go get the Spider locks, nothing wrong with the others but just not in the same quality ballpark

I have the Cumberlands they work fine but I have seen other brands that are finished a little better

I like the Hi-Teks. I have 14 on my boat.

I use driftmasters and can move them along the entire length of my boat, takes 2 minutes to move from the bow to the transom.

I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.

Right now I think it is between the Hi-techs and the SpyderLoc ...... both seem to be very adjustable .... as do the Cumberlands.....I am liking the wingnut adjustment on the SpyderLocs, but haven't crunched any cost numbers yet.
I like the KISS approach of the driftmaster, but they don't appear to be very adjustable as far as rod height is concerned .... unless I am just missing something.
The Tite Loc looks like it would be very good for spider rigging, but not very good to move for long line trolling.
Thanks for all the input ..... keep the ideas coming.

there is nothing that will adjust like the spider locks or hold be cause of the way they are made. Once you adjust them they stay there and don't move.
