| The rod holder was mounted with 4 #12 x 1 1/2" stainless screws. It broke due to torsion. The sudden torque applied when the fish hit caused the base to crack (spirally) and the rod (and holder) came flying out. It was my partners rod and he was fortunate I was looking that way because I immediately grabbed it before it went in the drink. I only got wet up to the elbow. The fish was successfully landed and released.
P.S. we saved the rod holder too, although it wsn't much good after that. I must say Berkley treated me very well, sending me a replacement holder and some other stuff for free, though I don't use those holders for muskie anymore. | |
