I have these that you are welcome to have. I live in Brigham. I upgraded to steel holders because Kent gave me sturgeon fever years ago. When a300+lb. fish puts a 90* side pull , the composite ones are not enough. Two rods overboard learning curve.
Fish-On =4 holders and 3 mounts. Cabelas’ Quickdraw =3 tubes(2 modified) and 2 mounts(similar to Scotty mounts).
Oh yeah. As the cut away part on the 2 quickdraw tubes shows that I prefer the craddle.
My boat came with 3 Folbe rod holders, I sold the Scotty holders I use to have. I like the Folbe for the way they open to cradle the rod & close to prevent rod from being yanked out. There is a locking knob to lock cradle down. These are pricey!

](Folbe Rod Holder 1 — Postimages) ](Folbe Rod Holder 2 — Postimages) ](Folbe Rod Holder 3 — Postimages)I’ve used them all on my boat and have settled on the RAM mounts. Easy to use, has a rod lock function, and is compatible with almost all reel types. I’ve never lost a rod/reel or had a RAM holder break. Solid product with lots of mounting options.
](RAM Mount — Postimages)I need a couple of rod holders for the new boat. It’s a 19 foot aluminum Vexus. I have one old Scotty cradle with the rubber strap. I see there is a cradle type that has a locking ring. There are also rocket launcher tube style rod holders. Plastic, aluminum, solid gold with diamonds…. I’m mounting it on a Cisco track. I’m not much of a troller now but I’ll do what catches fish at the time. Heading to Powell in October so I may troll there for stripers or walleye. I don’t have a down rigger at the moment if that matters. The Cisco holders look nice but holy cow they are pricey. Any suggestions are appreciated.
