Good morning. I wanted to get your opinions on the factory rod holders that are flush mounted on the washboards/ gunnels: 2021 Parker 2320
Are the factory provided rod holders adequate for high speed trolling ( 50 and 80 series reels/ rods) for wahooo?
I plan to mount 2 more 15 degree HD rod holders with backing plates for the bent buts. But, can I run heavy gear out of the factory rod holders without them
tearing out w/ a 80 pound wahoo strike. I will fight the fish from the rod holder.
I don't want to a.) damage the boat. b.) loose a fish or gear to the rod holders
tearing out of the flush mount. Thoughts? At least make backing plates for them? Or replace them with Lees HD ( $$) or just use them as they are mounted?
