Have you checked out any home improvement stores? You could probably get away with broom clips or tool holders, and they're pretty cheap. If that's not good, then look at gaff clips at the marine stores. You should find something that will work between the two places. Good luck.

I made them out of plastic broom/mop holders. I attached them to the boat with brass screws and they work just fine/<br />Stalker

Thanx everybody for the input. I was trying to find something strong and to my liking so I just made some . Heres how I made them, I took a <br />1 1/2" stainless steel pipe 3/16 thick and cut a slice out of it 2" wide, then I split it open and straightened out 2" of it flat for mounting to the gunnel, that left me with what looks like a C left and I then bought some swimming pool hose and cut a piece to fit inside the C , I glued it in with marine 5200 , now there is nothing to wear on the pole and it won't rust or break and it cost me a total of 2hours and $8.00 . I would imagine that some stainless pole holders would cost $75.00. Thanx everybody. Cooter
