dunc333 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 id say you might have to get them custom made but you never know . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cut_loose Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Get Seriously Stainless to make you some up, Trust me mate it will be worth the extra $$$ Imo i wouldnt touch the plastic ones, Only for holding bait board up but thats it. If you hook a big 1 the plastic 1 might snap and you'll lose not only the fish + your rod + reel and you'll be kicking yourself you didnt pay a little extra to get the good ones.

If you already have grab rails in the right places Grant you could use rail mount rod holders like these ones in the photo..if you don't have grab enough rails and it's convenient for you to add some, you can buy bolt on type grab rails in 316 stainless...these ones of mine are U.S. patented Tommy marine rod holders and I'm sure Gary Brickman would be able to make some up for you complete and get all the angles right for you at the same time...it's always handy to have plenty of grab rails on your boat anyway..

cut_loose Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 (edited) I got these ones atm. There not Stainless but there pretty good, 20 bucks from the local boat shop. For my next boat i will be sending it Garys way for rod holders Edited May 30, 2010 by cut_loose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
