I know several of you use Hitek trolling racks to pull cranks with, I must be doing something wrong. Ihad three different rods today jump out of the holder two only partially came out and one hit the lake, fortunately i retrieved it. I was pullin from the front with the rods out the side. I had the rods perpendicular with the boat and slightly tilted toward the water. Anybody got any suggetions?
I got some angle brackets from the hardware store, drilled them out and mounted them under the holders. They will prevent your rods from coming out.
Scott will you post pics when you get a chanceQuote:

You have them pointed downward.....I only do that when spider rigging. For pulling cranks with the rods perpendicular to the boat, you should have your rods slightly elevated.
Yeah you could also pull them to fast and they will corkscrew underwater to!

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.
What kind of rods are you using? What type of handles?Quote:

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.Quote:

I like the Hitec. We haven't had any problem out of them. Pulling out the back and sides.
Here is what I use. Made out of parts from two Titeloks.

You have to catch fish to make the rod jump out.
And when pulling cranks I mount them on the sides....
