Recommendations for HD trolling rod holders

[SBH2OMan]

Like many (all?) Parkers, I have three flush mount rod holders in each gunwale - two angled straight back, and the center one angled out and back. I'm trying to get a better setup for trolling for salmon, etc. I've tried clamp-on units mounted to the grab handles on the rear of the house and they just spin and chew up the grab handle when I start trolling a 3lb weight.

Curious if something like this will work in the the forward rear-facing rod holder:

Or does anyone have something else that has worked well? I want something temporary, as 85% of the time the boat is used for diving/spearfishing but once in a while....

The out rodders are great and we use them all the time trolling wireline for Striped Bass. You should have no problems. Check out Tony Maja out rodders-they are angled the same way, but pivot up so it makes it much easier to take the rod out of the rod holder

I have tried that style or rod holder in the past with poor results. Worst problem is they tend to come out of the gunnel rod holder when you go to remove the rod and in the drink they go. I use a heavy duty Scotty rod holders that lock in place, this one happens to mounted to a Scotty downrigger base.

I don't think those plastic Scotty mounts would hold up to the stress of trolling 4 lb weights at 3 mph... There's a LOT of twisting force being applied at the handle.

These are not the standard all plastic scotties for $20. These have a stainless core under the plastic. They have held up to countless albacore and halibut to 70 lbs. They wont even flinch at 4 lbs of lead or wimpy salmon on the other end. :lol:

:shock: $420 a piece. WOW! I think a windlass would come before a pair of these, but they sure do look nice... They'd be the nicest thing on the boat other than the new motor... :mrgreen:

Drill and tap the tongue for a thumb screw so you can lock them in place.

i had those Burnewiin's on my old boat they were a gift and were sold with the old boat they were AMAZING and since i do not troll too much any more as i moved my new Parker in 2009 to Montauk still dont have a need to troll ...

But if you got the dough buy them and also buy the insert accessories they are awesome especially the knife one !!!

Sully, Those rod holders are a work of art. To bad they are priced like art. I would love to put those on my Parker.

$420 each for those Burnewinns :?: ?

Damn, I'm in the wrong bizness ... :shock:

 

[Sully]

Yes but they would give me something to admire and gently polish :lol:
Hey I'm sure we would get a lot of years of pleasure out of those things
Divided it up and its just the initial hit that hurts for a minute

Look like knee knockers to me, never understood that design.

 

[miky2884]

^^^^^^im with you. I just didnt want to be the first one to say it. They seem like they would be in the way.

If it does not have an insert to hold cans or bottles it is a deal breaker for me.
