Marinebaby 2PCS Fishing Rod Holder - 9" Clamp On 360 Degree Adjustable Fishing Rod Holder - Clamp to Fit 7/8" to 1" Tube with Pin(Welded at Base),Small Wrench Included

I bought these for my sailboat, so I can troll for salmon and striped bass. They were easy to install directly to the existing rigid rail around the stern end of the cockpit. Seem to be high quality stainless steel, they are the shiniest thing on my 40 year old boat. They can be adjusted to different angles which is nice, but you do have to loosen the two allen bolts a lot to make the adjustment. Not a big deal if you don't plan on adjusting the angles often, but I've used the rod holders with quick adjust arms on fishing boats which is what I'd buy if I owned a fishing boat. You also have to make sure the bolts are torqued down REALLY TIGHT our else they WILL move with minimal drag in the line. I installed mine with the little allen tool that's included and after trolling a big "broke back" diving lure for ten minutes I snagged some free floating sea grass. This caused the holder to pivot fast enough that I had to quickly grab the pole. I almost dumped $300 worth gear to the bottom of the bay! I re-torqued them with a bigger allen key, and they seem to holding tight now, but I still haven't hooked an angry 20 lb. salmon either.

The tightening screws use a Allen wrench. Hex nuts would allow them to be better secured.

Great product. Wished I 'd bought one years ago. Fit perfit on my camp chain. Held my 7' ultra-lite pole very sercurly. Can't afford a boat, so all my fishing is from shore or wet wading.

Use them for a salt water fishing. No complaints. No pitting. Stays tight on rails

Heavy duty, sturdy mounts and looks great on boat,

Used for trout fishing and love them

Simple and effective.

good material and good connecting system to the railing
