Is anyone using this rod holder, right now I'm using a driftmaster but with it's design and me getting on my pondtoon from the front it turns every time I touch it. This one doesn't have a single nut on the top and looks solid, I've just never used those rod holders.

Blackhawk19, Get with callshy. He can make whatever you need custom for your rig. You won't be disappointed! :twocents
BH,
Don't know if this will work for you, but I bought some plastic knobs for my DMs and put a lock nut on the bottom and the plastiic knob on top. This makes it real easy to adjust the holder and the knob gives you more torque than the wing nut to lock it in position. I used the lock nut on the bottom to prevent it maybe shaking loose in transit and falling off. (the nut that has the plastic bushing in it to lock it down)
I got the knobs from Lowes. Don't remember the part number but they are on the aisle with the nuts and bolts, probably specialty parts.

He has built me rod racks for me, the ones on his site have a nut on the top and nothing on the bottom but the round tube which will let them turn. With my knees I have one hand on the rod holder and the other on the rail but when I put any pressure on it the holder turns.Quote:

Thanks SeaRay, I'm not having trouble with the rod holder turning but the whole rack turning.
Here's a picture of my setup, but it's had a lot off upgrades since this picture but you can see where the driftmaster sets, I don't need one that's able to turn from side to side.

Blackhawk they look just about like the SpyderLok rod holders. What do you think?
This is the picture I wanted in the previous post

Check out the Spider Locks sold by EZ Poleholder on here. You won't turn them.
I used the Home rod holders Scott is a great guy and worked with me to customize my rod holders and rod transportation rack for my war eagle.
Zcarey would those rod holders work if you striper fish or go for big cats? Would the fish pull it out of the holder? Thanks
Well they are sturdy holders and I'm sure they would handle some abuse but they are designed for crappie I have my boat lined all the way around with monster rod holders for my catfishing.
By the way Zcarey nice boat!
I just ordered one from Scott at Hi-Tek, he said they tighten down good and are very hard to turn. I think I'm going to like it!
You won't regret it he makes a great product
I know, he custom built some rod storage racks for my Pondtoon boat!!Quote:
