I will try that next time and add the angle brackets for peace of mind!

That's the very reason I use Tite Lok myself. I sell a ton of Hi Teks, and I really like em for spider riggin, but I like the Tite Lok for the versatility. JMHO

Maybe you got the older ones. I had mine pointed down to the water and back at a 30 degree angle and havent had a problem, of course the craps up here arent nearly as big.

I had the rods perpendicular with the boat and slightly tilted toward the water. Anybody got any suggetions?

What kind of rods are you using? What type of handles?

Them HI-Techs are junk, Send them to me and out of the goodness of my heart I will give you Scrap price for them.

Hi Tek makes a new holder with higher sides on it so you can pull from the SIDE!!!!!

I pull out the back....out the sides....never had a problem with my HiTeks and mine are the older ones. I put some l brackets on like Scott but they are really not needed.

I've got the angle brackets on the holders that would be pulling to the side. On the holders next to the engine, I just have the rod angled up.
