I have a driftmast t-bar I put up front and then I have some driftmater and wal-mart holders down the side. I have 16 total. Me and StumpHanger have been experimenting at work and have been able to duplicate them both. We are working on some re-designs which make them easier to lift the rod out and more adjustment to them. Once we get it right and get the jigs perfected for bending the metal we will be able to turn them out pretty quick.

Thanks Manta. I am trying to design a new system for my new boat that will be more functional and still be user friendly. I'll post pics when I get it finished.

papasage, I think if you used 8" or 10" pipe, you would like those better. Me &
Harold made some several years ago to use trolling but neither one of us knew how to do it. I had gone with another guy on a pontoon boat that had the pvc setup & we caught a lot of big crappie using different colored hal-fly jigs. I tried to show Harold & all I did was get everything hung up. So we abandoned that idea.
And still today I still don't know how to do it, but with the help of my new
crappie.com family, I'm sure I will learn alot of new techniques. I will show you
our rod holders when we get to Blackshear this time.
