Little Hooker Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hey raiders, I jus got my pair of scotty 1114 DR delivered and im bloody excited. Ive been reading about not trusting the rod holders that connects to the boom in some other models but i havent read much about these rod holders. Since my beloved and expensive rod and reels on them, would you trust them sittin in there when hopefully a hoodlum hits?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inhlanzi Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 G'day little Hooker If its a hoodlum and your drag is too tight or if line loops around an eye....say goodbye to your beloved rod and reel. Better get a lanyard son - a real good one... cheers inhlanzi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Hooker Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 I do have SS rodholders at the back of my boat but i think i have to take them out and move them around as they arent postion in the right spots after the DR goes in.

inhlanzi Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Kings and Big jewies have severely damaged the plastic bottom plates of my Scotty rod holders which are mounted on a ss rail. I am hoping to get new bottom plates or I will have to replace the lot with ss holders. Cheers inhlanzi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Hooker Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) Inhlanzi, So you have use the rods holders as the same ive posted up??? How long have they lasted you b4 you notice some dmg from the big ones? Edited January 29, 2008 by Little Hooker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lighthouse2k Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Make sure you have good quality welded rod holders as well, with a cast head or similar, not those pressed and rivited holders. They are crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gretsch Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I believe that I am the most qualified out of ALL Raiders to cast the final peice of advice on this topic. NO F@#KEN WAY !!!!!!! If they can snap cast alumium and a stainless steel screw, they will certainly break that!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
