I sell and use them all. Just buy a good set, and you'll be happy.

If that is the case I am looking for a four rod holder to mount to the front deck of my new excel boat, what do you recommend, I want to be able to remove it when I am fishing for other species of fish and not be stumbling on it all the time. Something with a low mounting plate that can stay and just the tbar and rod holders removed.Quote:

This is what I use, only I have a longer up right piece and longer sidearms. i have 2 holders on each side of the t. Works great, but still home made.

LM, I like that, my home made holders are done out of 3/4" copper pipe for the tbar, it has 4 rod holders on the tbar.Quote:

i have the hi-tec and they work great !!! i also sell them.
I have tried others, but for me Hi-Teks fit my use the best, see Scott Echols he is a member of CC.
For straight down verticle fishing and spider rigging I'd go with the hi techs. I've never owned any but they look the best to me for getting a rod in your hand quickly. JMO. I would assume theyre strong enough for catfishing and striper fishing too?!?
HEY BRM and MEATGETTER shoot me a price for a hi tech 4 rod holder with 18" tbar and mount, include shipping to get it to Conway,AR.
The actual black rod holder is made by Driftmasters with the DIY Tbar. You can order the whole set up, a flush mount, upright stem and crossbar/Tbar from driftmastersdotcom. I use 'em and can get a 2 rod holder or 4 rod holder set up.Quote:

Hi-Teks fer sure!! Doesn't hurt that Scott is a hardcore Crappie fisherman hisself....and being that he is also a mechanical engineer he just designed what he needed from the fisherman's perspective!! I don't see how he makes anything on them at the price he charges.....by far the best for the money. Just be sure to deburr and smooth out any rough edges on the holders before putting them on the t-bar.....will make them very smooth and easy to adjust without having to use a wrench.
Tite loks all the way!!!!!
i use hi-teks, bought from bill at big river marine. fishing with 8 poles is a breeze.
wait to a couple of them white bass or about three gar run threw them it will be a breeze alright!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but the hi tec are the best !!!!!!!!
I like the way they work when pushing or pulling cranks as well as the way they Spider Rig. It's all personal opinion, and what you get used to. I like em all, and have used em all.Quote:
