Tryed them all
I like my SpyderLoks
Look how spyderloks are built and how easy they are to adjust. Can't get any better.
I like Cumberland crappie rod holders myself. I have a set of 360s that is great for pushing. I have a set of Cumberland holders for the back that is great for trolling and then I have a one of a kind set I use for cranks up front.
My :twocents opinion : Driftmasters just seem so "clunky lookin" & bigger/heavier built than necessary. In a choice between just those two you menitoned ... I'd go with the Cumberland 360 setup. I currently use Hi-Tek Elite rod holders, but have used others. I just don't like those with the forked tines poking me in the wrist when I go to remove my rod. I say the Cumberland 360 because it uses similar shaped holders like the Hi-Tek Extreme (deeper U holder cradle than the Hi-Tek Elite) plus it has height adjustment on the main T bar (17-24").Quote:

Spyderlok is the best on the market. The amount of adjustability is fantastic. Then you don't need any tools to tighten or loosen any piece, period.
You will find that we all have our own opinions, but you must find the one that meet your needs.

I run the Cumberland 360 and am happy with them. They are easily adjusted with no tools needed. I got a second set of mounting plates to mount in the back deck to pull cranks with. Plus they are made right here in KY.

Thanks gents! I went with the Cumberland 360. Seems like a quality product and I like to keep the money local if possible.

I've used Hi-Tek for years and never had any complaint with them at all, except that you have to use a wrench to adjust them. I've also had a set of Spider-loks. But recently I purchased a set of Cumberland 360's and really, really like them. They do everything I want and are easily adjusted. You can't go wrong with Cumberland.
I have Cumberland crappie for Three years now. Love them

I used Cumberland for years . Good product, great company. I went to spyderloks because they are easier to adjust, and my rods stay in holders better when pulling crankbaits off side of boat . If all you were going to do is spiderrig , the Cumberlands are great . Low profile design of Cumberlands is nice . Crankbaits, longlining =I love my spyderloks!!
I'm pretty new to crappie fishing, so my vote doesn't count for much. I"ve been using Driftmaster holders, but have been working on various rigs to hold the holders, both frt spider rigs and rear trolling rigs.Attachment 324352Attachment 324353
I'm very pleased with my Cumberland Crappie rod holders! Got the pedestal mount type, easy to adjust and can take apart and store in one the compartments in minutes.
SpyderLoks by for the best, for all the reasons Bandchasers stated.
