Location: Wisconsin | Has anyone used these on their boats? Saw them at Rollie and Helens last week...but don't know how they would hold up to Salmon fishing along with Muskie trolling.

Location: Clintonville, Wi | Imo they are the best rod holders on the market. Designed by Salmon fisherman out west so they are built tuff. I've been using mine for 3 yrs now without any issues. I do alot of trolling in the fall so they've gotten a workload. |

| They can handle a 57" sturgeon foul hooked, so I think they can handle anything a musky or salmon will dish out. |

| I have a pair and am getting 2 more this week. Held up well last year though they do flex quite a bit on hits. Never heard of a failure on these and they look nicer and are easier on cork than the downeasters I had on my last boat - in my opinion. Easy to get the rod out of when u need to. |

Location: north central wisconsin | Entering my 5th season with them and no issues. They are tough as nails, and so much easier to work than my old DE's. With the rear portion of the holder stationary, you don't even need to set your sandwhich down when extracting a rod on a hit or snag. I was skeptical of the tall pedestals at first but upon talking to the owner of the company and placing my order, he explained that the holders are actually more rigid with them than the standard base. |

Location: Cedarburg, Wisconsin | I run nine of them for walleyes and they are super slick! Run three for muskies and have trolled double tens at 5 mph+ and you can still easily get the rod out of the holder at that speed to change lures, check for weeds or whatever. They can be a little stiff when new but they break in with use. I run 8 rail mounts and one bolted to the transom. The extensions work great too. Had them on since 2008 and they are flawless. Not cheap but very high quality. |
