Fishing pole holders

[oldbadger]

Hello, I'm looking for ideas on fishing pole holder for a 68' Holiday. The top of the side of the boat seems a little flimsy to support anything? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

I plan on installing these flush-mount stainless rod holders on the gunwales(top of the sides) on my Starcraft SS. You may want to use a backing plate of epoxied wood or metal to reinforce.

I just installed those on my Holiday, works out real well! I had to do a little more reinforcing for the downrigger mounts!

I put these scotty's on the inside of my gunwales, I just move them to the horizontal hole to put the cover on. I think Bass Pro or Cabellas has the same holders only under there brand in a four pack for a great price.

i use monster rod holders now. because my old ones wouldn't handle anything above a 10lb fish, i had the plastic ones from bass pro that are similiar to the scotty's they would just pull the rod holder down and almost lost a couple of rods, my new ones are made of 1/2 in steel and are coated , don't thing a 1000lb shark would rip the rod out of it. nice thing about them is you get two holders in one , one at 0 degrees and the other 35 degrees. pics are of the new and the old
