Boat Rod holders

[RRmaniac]

Looking to get some sort of multi angle rod holders for the boat. I want something that would work for trolling and strong enough for catfish on the Red. Not really looking to pay much more than 20 a piece. Preferably less.

Ram are probably the best out there, but there are also Fish-On and Scotty rod holders. All are adjustable angles and strong enough to hold a catfish at bay.

If you are using spinning reels, I prefer Ram. The Fish-On and Scotty holders are OK, but are better left to baitcasters, IMHO.

Note: I have Rams in my fishing boat but just bought Scotty for my pontoon.

I also have the Cabelas rod holders and they are well built. $52 for a set of 4 with bases is hard to beat. I purchased Scotty brand extensions and they fit perfect.

I have Scottys branded by cabelas, work as intended and no major complaints

Scottys in my boat. Have a couple of clamp on the rail style and four screw on bases.

Scheels has their brand name ones on sale right now for $17 I believe. That's what I have in my boat and I love them.

I use those Berkley quick sets Very simple concept. But, they have never failed trolling, jigging or cat fishing. But, i surmise they aren't meant for bait casters. What i really like about them is you lift them straight up when u get a bite. No "out and up" and no fumbling with any rings. And the spinning reel hangs just like it would if it were in your hand.... reel down. Some others dont allow that. Edit: sounds like bait casters work just fine. The bad reviews appear to be from people who can't figure out how to "use" them. Lol. It ain't brain surgery.

They are not under $20 but Driftmaster M255 will never ever break on a catfish.

I have Rams and like them. But children, women and the elderly are confused by them.

2x on Rams

 

[norbz24]

I like the Folbe's.

 

[sierra1995]

Rams on my boat. Not too familiar with catfishing with them, but i can pull deep rippers on a planer board and catch salmon and they don't break or move.

 

[Hawgeye]

X2 on the Folbe's. I've had many kinds but these are the best in my opinion. Rod comes out slick but only when you want them out, otherwise are locked in.

When leatherman tools first came out I had a lot of friends who could not open them.
