| Hi guys,
I just got my retirement boat... a Lund Pro V and am outfitting it for muskies. I am having a heck of a time finding an aluminum 90 degree bracket that will fit the track on the inner part of the side gunnels. I found a Brocraft bracket that looks like it will do the trick, but in the description it says that it will only fit 1/4" rails. I measured mine and they're more like 3/8". I'm not really looking for a track system, but a bracket that I can mount a single rod holder on. Something like Lunds sport track system, but will fit a Pro V. Thanks, Fred K. |

Location: SW Ohio | I was going to recommend Trackstar by Phischon Engineering but it doesn’t look like they’re in business anymore. That’s a shame. They fit my Lowe gunnel tracks well, just Needed to grind the part of the retaining bolt heads a bit. |

| Cisco makes a bracket for the track. I’ll be getting some for my Pro V soon. |

Location: NE Ohio | go to cisco site, get the ones to fit your boat, will last you forever! you'll be able to add rod holders on top of them. i personally favor the fat az holder that adapts to the salty. it's an awesome set-up IMO. good luck...... |

Location: Madtown, WI | You can also make your own for pretty cheap, PM if you are interested and I can provide links. I am using the lund plastic ones for trolling rods but made my own for sucker rod holders, cup holders, and bimini supports. |

Thanks for all of the replies guys! I've looked at the Cisco brackets, but they're more for a track system, and that's not what I'm after. Those gunnels on the Pro V are quite wide, and I'm looking for a bracket that goes to the outside edge (water side) of the boat so I can mount a rod holder out on the end for my down rods. I saw the Fat Az/Down East set up, a buddy has them, and they are quite nice, but again, they're for a track system or direct mount. Plus I've already got several Folbe's and was planning on using them. I did find a brand called Rod Tree. They have something pretty similar to the Brocraft mounts. I emailed them and asked them if they did custom work. I'm thinking of a bracket that looks like an "L" rotated 90 degrees to the right. Hopefully that goes somewhere. Thanks for the input ;0) Fred K.

Location: NE Ohio | i use the individual mounts with the two screw locking system. NOT using a track system. atop that i put the fat az angled bracket faced outward with a downeast attached to hold the rod. i've seen many pro v's with this set-up........get a hold of andy at fat az and i'm sure he can fix you up.

| Cisco Lund brackets will work on your boat. Like pkllingen said many boats in my area use them on Pro Vs. Cisco mounts will work. If you have any questions I suggest you call Cisco (early morning is best) and talk to a rep. I personally ask for Dave Logan. He knows his products and can advise you. Also Cisco will do custom work. I use their mounts with Cisco cradles for trolling. I have eight of their mounts that I use for any application from Musky to walleye trolling. I too have a pair of Fat AZ mounts but I'm not crazy about them because of the limited side adjustment of the down East holder (90,45 or 180 degrees). Your Folbes would be a better holder IMO or the Cisco Down East rod holder This rod holder allows almost unlimited rod angles the same as the Folbe. I have a pair of Down East holders on them and they are great I rarely use the Fat AZ s since I've tried these for Musky.I prefer the unlimited rod adjustment they provide. My Fat A Z holders are now just a back up just in case I need them emergency set up for Musky trolling. Good luck.
