    Default Mounting Suggestions for Trolling Rods


    I have 2 different sets of driftmaster rod tip savers. The center mount and offset mount. The new boat is fiberglass and I am needing some help with mounting suggestions.
    Should I mount on top cap thru the fiberglass OR mount thru the deck surface just inside the gunnel?

    And what kind of mounting hardware should I use??

    First glass boat so I want to do it right!

    Thanks,
    Brian

    I had a set of those, but now I am using the Cornfield Crappies Rod Racks that Cajun Fryer makes.
    I mounted both sets through the deck, just inside the gunnel.

    Brian, I have a set of the ones Dean is talking about at the shop if you want to have them in your hands before you decide. That's what I would be using if I could use the horizontals on my Excel.
