Most of the downeasters that I have broke is from the pin bending and then the whole rod holder falls out of the the lower mount and usually ends up in the bottom of the lake. Another problem is you can not run them down and straight back in big wave if you want to prop wash a bait they will lift up on there own and you will lose your rod this has happened to me when they were mounted on the rails I have on my transom. It is not an abuse problem or from triggers it just happens after countless hours of use. I use mostly shimano trolling rods with foam handles and no triggers they do beat up handles on rods after a lot of hours it's not something that happens right away. They are a good product don't get me wrong about that I used them for a long time but I would put my money on Folbe rod holders reinforced nylon material to be stronger than alumininum pot metal all day.
