| This is my first year with Scotty holders.
In the past I have used RAM and Roberts Rod Holders. I do a lot of slough trolling in snags and stumps on the Mississippi River with Fireline, where you literally hammer bottom with your cranks. When a holder-rod snags up going with the current, it either peels line out of the reel in spite of the drag setting, breaks the line (rare with Fireline), or brings my 20'' Tuffy to halt. Either way, I have never had a plastic rod holder break on me. I doubt a muskie can apply the same force as a 2500 pound boat trolling with a 2-3 mph current, but you never know (that''s the muskie I wanna catch!).
I do wish that the plastic holders had finer up/down left/right adjustment increments.
