ROD HOLDERS

Down-east Sportscraft Inc. Rod Holders, Since 1946

Down-east rod holders are  made from cast alloy and are available in a multitude of fittings Clamp on, Bolt on and Rail mount. There are extremely tough and will not let you down. In the USA they are used for Musky trolling, with 12" long lures trolled at 6 mph in the propwash of the boat, if a 40lb fish  hit a lure like this trolled from a plastic holder it would smash it to bits. So don't trust your rod to a plastic holder use a metal one.

D11 Rod holder, this is the model I use on my boat the mount fastens to  the gunnel of the boat with bolts or screws, to remove the holder  just undo the wing nut and take the holder home or put it in your tackle box.
