Location: 31 | It's vital to the way I fish to be able to easily rotate a rod holder in and out of the water to remove the tremendous pressure that's created with a rod tip buried 5-6’ under the surface at 4 MPH. Like Todd mentioned; even the pressure created with his big boards can make it difficult to get the rod back in the holder. The best/easiest way that I’ve found is to set the rod in the holder while the line is still paying out, or pull the rod several feet forward to remove the pressure before dropping it in the holder.
Also, if you're running a typical 6 line spread and your buddy is pulling/checking the outside board rod while leaving the inside board rod in place, you can turn the boat away from the board for a few seconds to create a better angle between the boat and board to wind it in. Bringing in the entire side in my boat to check the outside board for weeds is unacceptable.
I’ve trolled past plenty of other boats and watched them needlessly fight these situations when there are easier/less frustrating ways to get the job done faster.
