Well our rebuild of the Esox Magnum is almost complete. Does anyone have ideas/pictures of what kind of rod holders to mount and how to mount them? I dont want to drill through the side wall and the clamp on style would scratch the boat I think. Looking forward to your ideas.
Thanks, Bob

You can use clamp on. Just put a piece of rubber gasket material inbetween the clamp and the glass.

Yep, clamp on Down-Easters with rubber in-between.

I have a esox magnum and I made some custom stainless rails for rail mount down eastern's. The rails mount to the flat and come up at the same angle as the side walls. Can take a pic tonight if you want

2 more. I like the rail mount because its easy and quick to get your rod tip up if you get a little shallow or go over top of structure. just grab the rod but and push it down so the bait comes up in the water column after you clear the structure return to normal.
