I went to spyderloks and haven't looked back . Didn't spend 600.00 either.
I buy everything at cost through my company so it's not that bad. I can get the ram mounts for 10 bucks each. The entire rig you see in the picture cost me about 19 bucks if I can make it work. I'm only going to build one first and test it then when it works build the rest. I have owned the spiderloks and I have to be honest I didn't care for them at all with the way they adjust left and right but they were nice with the way they go up and down. I'm really looking at the titelok capps and coleman single rod holders just for the ability to take some of the guess work out of with pole got bit and and when you bump one with a 4 rod holder all 4 shake. I appreciate the input but I'm not going to give up until I figure this out. And when I do I am going to put the schematics of them up so everybody can build them if they want and not have to pay 75 a holder.
