Sometimes it goes that way. When I bought my latest tube a couple of months ago, I rushed and grinded out a rod/fishfinder rack. Spent a good amount of time designing it too. By the time I had used it twice, I was already working to figure out a better solution.

I would say my new rack is pretty much final, and it's not just an improvement on the old one. It's a completely new design, from square one. Sometimes you just need to start from a clean slate.

Ain't that the truth! The old..."It looked good on paper".

What do you think of these?

Used by kayakers, very low profile, adjustable, universal fit, IF you can find a SOLID place to drill a hole.

Interesting and a good price, but I would love to see how the rod sits in them. I am not seeing it.

No made for Fly gear though, so wouldn't work at all for me.
The Scotty works on all rods/poles and reels.

I would have to agree on the Scotty's. I have them on my boat and love them. They are going on the toon also.

They are cool, and a great price, just not for me.
QUOTE:
BEE READY rod holders fit most rod and reel combos:bait cast, spin cast, and even pistol grip rod handles.

No fly rod, and that is all I use.

Thanks for posting the pictures though, that could help allot of people out.
