I'm looking to upgrade my trolling racks to single rod holders. I've looked at Driftmaster and titelok, but I'm really interested in the Elite Rod Holders. There's not a lot of reviews about them. Can y'all point me in the right direction? $500+ is quite the investment when my hi-tek stuff is doing fine. I just want to do my homework before I buy them. If there is already a thread about this, please just direct me there! Thanks for your input.

I ended up doing something completely different and could not be happier. I had single post made and put SpyderLok heads on them, no they do not tilt at the floor but they are solid and the SpyderLok head lets me adjust for whatever and I can slo troll, push hard, push cranks or pull cranks off them. Best decision I have made as far as rod holders so far, not saying they are the best in the world, just saying they are the best for me.
I tried the Capps holders and was VERY disappointed, got them fixed and sold them losing 70 bucks or so and only fished with them a handful of times.
Good luck in your search, it's not an easy one!
I fished with RG's set up..VERY nice
I'll have to check his out next time I catch him at Nader

Check out the new rod racks from Millennium Marine. Bought from E-Z Poleholder. Towers fold down when all rods out, if desired. Adjoists vertical or horizontal. I love mine!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...df6083f181.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cf369a64d5.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e3d401b1ef.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b8c534fed9.jpg

My bad, slablfe. Wasn't paying attention. I first thought you were posting about rod transport racks. SENIOR MOMENT!!!

Doesn't that defeat the only benefit of having singles? Moving them closer or farther from your knees is the only advantage I've seen. Never used any, so I may be missing something.Quote:

To me the main advantage is not shaking all the poles when you get a bite, next is the flexibility of the adjusting the position, to me anyways. If I had plates for my seats I would do what I've doneQuote:

Hi-tek makes a single too. Could reuse some of your current set up and come out cheaper.Quote:

You're welcome, Gabepeeps. These would work on the windshield side as well with minor adjustments.

Didn't mean to hijack your thread, Slablife.

I first started with Driftmaster. Totally unhappy. You need a wrench for all adjustments. No height adjustment at all.
Then went with 4 rod holders from Millinium Spyderlok. I absolutely love them. No wrenches needed. Quick remove and theft proof when you use security screws. Best side to side adjustments on the market hands down. I love the height adjustment. Second best up and down holding power. If you really crank down they can slip a bit but nothing like the Drfitmaster. However for catfishing I went with Elite Rod Holders. They are strongest things on the market. Never slip up and down. They actually tighten the more pressure you put on them and the built in thandle for the up and down adjustment is bombproof. You still need a wrench to adjust left and right tho but Jesse does make left and right hand threads so once you get them where you want they are there to stay. For that reason, I use them for crappie cranking too. Jesse with Elite is a great guy and will do whatever you need. If there was a way to combine the two it would be perfect.
I do use the Drfitmaster road locker. It is the best theft proof transport rack out there.
I was lucky enough to fish out of BRM's new rig (at least it was his new rig a month ago) and his setup with the Capps singles sure were nice. Easy to adjust and liked how you could pull them back to where they were just right and adjust the rod angle. Course I have the driftmasters and about anything seems to be better. Now the price of his setup discourages me from upgrading.
