A couple of months back I changed over all the bolts to knobs on my holders. These knobs have worked great so far. About $15 to change over the 6 bolts to knobs on a 4 pole holder.

Changed mine couple weeks ago love the knobs!!
Changed mine and works like a champ.
Save yourself some time and just buy the Cumberlands.
Obviously you weren't one of the ones this was listed for.Quote:

The only difference would be the easy adjustability of the Cumberlands, and now you are modifying your HTs to do the same. I simply expressed my opinion. If that is not allowed, then please withold your own.Quote:

Handi is just a trouble maker. How dare him post up good, useful, info.:Rofl
I found it down on the MS board a while back and saved it. I don't even have hi-teks, but this is good stuff.
Yep got mine changed and passed the info to several others. Good find handi
Just ordered me some.. Thanks for the info kenyon
Thanks Handi, good stuff:))
Lots of folks have and had Hi-teks way before Cumberland decided to copy their bar style and holder style. I do like the knob set up better myself but why in the world would anyone want to buy a whole new set of holders for a $100 when they can spend $15 and modify what they already have???? For your information I have a cumberland net holder and it has the knobs. The knobs I listed are the rubberized type and make the hard plastic knobs Cumberland uses look like crap. You might want some of the good knobs in the future also.Quote:

Good question.. I was thinkn the same thing.. If not i will just keep the bolt there.. Its gonna be nice with those knobs on the holders thoughQuote:

use the bar for leverage while turning/ tightening and torque the bar into place !!
Yep. What I do is turn my bar about 30 degrees off of where I want it. Then tighten the knob down. Using bar as leverage turn the bar itself back the 30 degrees and it will hold tight.Quote:

Fished with Crappie Greg a couple of weeks ago and he has Cumberland rod holders and I was impressed. He had replaced the plastic knobs with wing nuts and I had trouble getting the holders tight enough because of arthritis in my thumb and index finger. So I was looking for something bigger, like these knobs, to avoid having to keep up with a wrench to adjust the holders. Anyway, I think Cumberland rod holders are great, and I think Hi-Teks are great too. Since I already have the Hi-Teks, I think I'm gonna have the best of both worlds with the big knobs. Thanks again, Handi and RCC. Just ordered my big honkin' knobs!
Ok Handi, let me get this straight. Are you saying tek has better " knobs " now than cumberland. I am so confused. Thanks
Hi-Tek doesnt have knobs. I am saying the knobs I listed are better than the ones Cumberland uses and might be useful if someone wanted to upgrade to these after market knobs.Quote:
