As WF says, one bolt will get it really tight. Actually, it gets the bars TOO tight for me, so I added a nylon washer between bar and stem so the bar will rotate easier. Once in a while, I need to rotate the whole bar--for example, when I'm drifting backwards and pulling corks, I rotate both sets of holders so I can space all 8 lines evenly. Since I'm going stern first, my lines are away from the TM.

Search and you'll find a number of old threads discussing Hi-Teks being used for trolling.
