Trying to find a set or 2 of some rail (round...7/8", I believe) mount rod holders (3-4 holders along a bar of sorts) and having some difficulty locating something already manufactured. Looking to add one to each side of the siderail on a 15' Boston Whaler. These would be mainly used for longlining.
I've seen a few that I like (Millenium or Brocraft) with adjustable height/angle holders, but would have to fabricate some sort of base to clamp on rail in order to make work.
Any suggestions?
I used Beeready mounts when I had my larger boat. They are excellent. Products – Page 4 – Bee Ready Fishing
Amazon.com : rail mount rod holder
There are a bunch on Amazon. Plastic or stainless of several design types.
I see a lot of these on the lake, and they are very affordable:
Amazon.com
If my boat didnt have already it I would install a T track system and build from there

Check out scotty mounts too to see what they have.
Here's mine. Note there is a T-bar with 2 rod holders mounted on the rail by one rail clamp...(I also have single rod holders mounted on the rail for catfishing)

Thanks for the info, y'all.
The cheap Amazon ones are probably what I will end up going with. Was hoping to not have to do any fabrication and get a single mount to rail with multiple holders so I could remove fairly easily when not in use and using the boat to pull a tube or whatever.
Trying not to drill any more holes in the boat, although I keep thinking about having the hull totally redone, but if I did that, I'd have to get a new, shiny motor!Quote:

I’m still blowing money on this guy. ‘84 CJ7. Trying to talk myself into swapping axles and trans. Does have a hitch receiver, at least :)

I think this is from a local place that redoes older Whalers. Would be nice, but $$$
from this…to this…Attachment 482944
Attachment 482943Welp, pics didn’t load right, but you get the idea :)
Btw, ordering these. Same as on Amazon link posted earlier for a good bit cheaper.

I saw those and are similar to Driftmaster. My only problem with Driftmaster set up is they are a fixed angle (at least, from what I've seen).Quote:

What t-bar do you have? I haven't purchased the ones off ebay, yet. Made an offer...I always like to throw out lower numbers and see if they stick :)Quote:

I’ll pm you my phone and email.
Well just saw above. I’ll text you tomorrow.
Thanks

Text will be fine but I am still receiving emails... [email protected]
Thanks, Scott. Didn’t get a chance to troll with them, but got em mounted, at least. Saturday was pretty windy and we decided to try a few spots out of the wind tossing beetlespins and underspins. Had a few bites and landed one fish…lol. Just not a crappie!

Scott hooked me up with two T bats quickly. Great product and great service and communication. Really like them. Thanks!
