I haven't had this issue with my Canon rod holders either. I put as much tension as possible on my rods without them releasing and it keeps my level-wind reels "upright"..... and I'm using a fairly substantial sized (i.e. heavy) reel too. FYI, I use 8.5' downrigger rods and NOT some 6' ugly sticks with spinning reels....just like the picture that Reelmasta posted.
