I tried most of the major makes of pole holders and I can't find anything that can touch Hi-Teks. As someone else mentioned, they are easily adjusted and definitely the easiest to get your poles out of....at least in my opinion. Over years of tournament fishing, both Tite-loc holders and Driftmaster have cost me fish when reaching quickly for a pole and not making a clean lift on it by bumping my hand against the holder. I do not have the trouble with Hi-Teks and favor them....but...with that said, all three of those brands, Tite-loc, Driftmaster and Hi-Teks are good pole holders. Don't think you could go bad wrong with any of them.
