stricko4 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Guys, I'm looking at fitting some rod holders for trolling & bait fishing to my Stacer 4.6m Sunmaster runabout. I've got 4 flush mounted in the gunwalls but was thinking of some that put the rod in a less upright position. Has anyone used the Snap Loc holders & what are the thoughts on them. The other style I was thinking of was the snapper style so popular in Vic. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framedtrash Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 if your fishing for kings nothing less then stainless steel will do if its plastic sooner or later a king is going to snap it and you will loose your fish and your gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zook2001 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 A good design on paper but the one I brought from Bias was very small, only my smallest rod butts would fit, if they were larger I'd buy again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
