    Default Adjustment knob for driftmaster.


    I saw this mentioned on the main forum so I got some from Lowes and they are slick. They replace the wing nut and make it easier to adjust the Driftmaster type rod holders or any type with similar thread size. I have the little pros which are 3/16 but I think you can get the 1/2 also.
    I have different type on the front of the boat, but these work well on the back.

    Nice mod for the driftmasters, I've never been crazy about the wing nuts. Thanks for the idea.

    Excellent idea. Been keeping pliers or a wrench handy to adjust/remove rod holders. Dang wingnuts hurt my tender fingers! Thanks for info.

    For making adjustments those knobs will beat the heck out of the wingnuts. Thanks for sharing the tip. I always used self locking nuts and secured my holders tight to the T-bar as I always fish the same rods in the same holders so I dont need to adjust.

    Great Tip Ray !
    I checked at Lowes and they do not carry the 1/2" size.
    If anyone finds a source for the 1/2" ones at a decent price let us know.
