My Setup

[Bluegillman]

Fail?...it never will but with those hard plastics it has who knows now but it would "pop" off it's clamping if bumped. A few has flew off on me because I had it wide opened. I don't use those spring clamps too much on my woodworking products with glue as I don't like them at all for it. For holding something other than glue it's good for it. Why not make one of those PVC stuff as I did on one of mine. You can see the photo I just post somewhere and all the other guy's ways too (TubeDude spoiled us all on it). I was wasn't sure on it at first when I built it and gave it a test, it was great and I gotta tell you what happened on last Friday's fishing trip that I did. When I got to the lake that we planned on trying out there were two shore fisher guys and wasn't any room to get in the lake from that spot. They had too many things set up and I didn't want to mess their fishing day up and took another lake that I knew was around. Found that lake and noticed not many used it for a while and the brushes were closing up the opening. (The burshes I mean they are ten foot tall grass!) That was the only way to get in and took it. Boy that wasn't an easy in part! I sank a foot in the mack and was stuck on both foots. Had to fight to get each footing out and was roughed on the rod holders as I fell around. The rod holders stayed put very nice. I didn't leave the rods in the rod holders while doing all this, buddy handed them to me when I got on the water. We took the other way out but it was not bad but very steep at a sharp angle!
