Rod holders - The Hull Truth

08087 · 12-13-2007, 05:04 PM

My boat, 186 DC SeaHunt. The only 2 rod holders on this boat are at the stern, placed close together, maybe 2' between the 2.

I want to either make or buy something that I can place in the rod holders that would hold additional rod holders, idealy at a 45 degree angle to the water. Or at least would keep the rods at the outter most sides of the boat. The present holders would hold the new ones in place and I would get the separation I need.

I hope I have explained this well enough, I need more separation of my line when I troll.

Alantani had a picture on here where he used outrodders and then attached clamp-on rodholders to the "trunk or stem" of the outrodder. This approach would give you two more rodholders.

Also, there are kite fishing rodholders that hold three rods.

I have the same boat. I plan on mounting two flush mounts on the sloping part of the gunnels at the eurotransom. If I put 30 degree holders angled out I'll almost have rod riggers. I'll let you know how it works out.
