Thread: Rod holder styles?

I have the Hi-tek rod holders (2sets with 4holders each) and have never had a problem with them. I used mine for Pushing jigs/cranks.
I had experiences with a couple of other brands (in other boats). They were mostly the brands with V or U shaped rests, and I found myself poking my hand/wrist on the V/U rest prongs when I had to quickly grab the rod out of the holder. With the Hi-tek setups, there are no "prongs" to deal with ... which is why I went with them in the first place and why I've never changed them out.

I use the Milennium holders because of their height adjustments. Check out the Bro-Craft rod storage units. I love mine.

Millennium for me also...

Have not owned, but used to fish with a buddy that had hi-tek.
If I was serious about spider rigging I believe thats what I’d go with. Loved them for spider rigging. As it is, I don’t do that much anymore. Have millenium that I longline with, pulling jigs out the back. Still have attwoods down the sides for crankbaits. And driftmaster rod carriers. Had to add a third one so can leave long rods assembled. Fourteen footers really flopped around on the highway with just two. The back two I made detachable brackets that go into the attwood gear lock base, can unpin them and take out while I’m fishing.

I use the Millenniums for adjustability. I actually own 4, although I really use only 2 at a time, although I did have all 4 installed at once. Two are set up for the bow for spider rigging while the 2 on the stern are raised up and setup for longline/crankbait pulling. If for some reason that I have only 2 sets installed, it isn't a problem to adjust them to the other setup should I need to change my method and fishing style.
