Best rod holders?

[johnr]

I have Ram, Fish-On, and Cabelas. None of them have upset me too much. The Ram does release a rod a bit nicer than the rest when you grab and lift, though.

I have Folbe's and love them.

Don't let the appearance fool you. The Rams are tough as nails. I've only broke one in the last ten years & that was due to a "roll over" when my boat was trailered.

Those Ram holders don't look like they would be sturdy enough for trolling cranks. Any issues when hit by a big pike?

I thought my Folbes were a pain in the ass at times myself.
Especially when you needed to grab the rod quick and it'd lock up on yea.

Yea, you definitely have to lube them up a little and pull straight up or they wont open.

You are supposed to take them out of the base and put them in storage before you do that.:;:
