Why single pole? :dono
Most often answer to that question, that I've seen, is "to keep all the rods from reacting (bouncing) when one rod is getting a strike, or the operator "bumps" the holder".Quote:

I think the average answer is to keep all the poles from bouncing when you get a hit. My take on this is if I were tourney fishing I would probably go to single pole holders. One missed bite can cost hundreds of dollars. I personally have Spyder Locks and I really like them but I don't fish competitively. Also the cost for singles is sort of prohibitive.
To me....a little shake of all the poles is an advantage. Many times I'll see a far left pole shake as the far right gets bit. I've learned to distinguish between shake and bite and have caught lots of fish although I wasn't looking at the pole when it was hit.
I agree.....and its a whole lot cheaperQuote:

My poles been shaking for years.
my poles don't shake.:(
I have a set of tite locks and really like them
So you have a set of tite-lok singles and you like them.
Check out the Bee Readys. Great for spider floating/rigging. Mount them on anything. I have a mix of everything. I have EZZ Pole Holders on my Pondtoon. They great. I have some Hi Techs. They great. I have no problem with catching using any pole holders, but I do have problems paying ATTENTION.
Bee Ready Rod Holders

I only use two single holders . Left and right hands .:biggrin
The Atwood single pole mounts are great and Sell for $13.95 at grizzly Jig. Get extra mounting bases for $5.99 ea. I use both types of rod holders. I love to have extra bases for moving around rigs.
What kind of line is that warbird?
