Don, I've only been serious about trolling for the past couple years, but I'm using the RAM holders. Takes 2 seconds to put on/take off, and when they're off the mount is small, streamlined and snag-free. I mostly troll jake sized stuff, and bang it into rocks and gravel bars whenever possible, and the holders have held up great.

I like the Folbe rod holders. Been running them since 2008 with out problems.
They make a mount that can be flush mounted on the gunnel. The rod holder itself can be removed quickly.

DON PURSCH trolling??? Whats up with that, you must be getting old!

Folbe's on mine too since 2008. Bulletproof. They make several mounting options available. The neat thing is you can get the rod out of the holder under a tremendous strain with no problem and the holder doesn't chew up the rods. We regularly troll d-10's at 5mph with no holder/rod problems.

Was that a Slammer decal strategically positioned in that photo?

I just got a Folbe flush mount (have always used DE) and am not a big fan thus far. The rod holder is fine but the flush mount is not easy to lock/unlock if your gunnel is carpeted. It's a major pain right now, need to use a screw driver just to move the lever even though I loosened up the bolts a bit, which I wouldn't think is a good idea. Am going to have a buy a side mount instead.

I had to build up my mounts with some stainless washers placed between the gunnel and the mount. They worked great once I did that. I really like my folbes.

Not sure what you mean??

Not rod holder related but check out the nice sunrise photo I took last summer out on Pewaukee!
