Wedger Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 Just got 'Otter' out for to 'tart-up-the-old-bucket' & going to bless her with a proper set of convenient rod holders! I got a proper bargain on some through gunwale sockets and some decent safety rails. Well, I would like to put a couple of good strong adjustable rod holders on each side rail. What do you recommend??? SS would be good. Quote
great white Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 I fitted a couple at Christmas that I bought from Simpson Marine They can be set at various angles rather than fully adjustable, SS and look good. Charlie Quote
Rob Posted March 1, 2013 Report Posted March 1, 2013 Jim's mate is making some for Barney, but on one knows what that are like or how much they cost, not much help, sorry! Quote
great white Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 There is also Stainless Steve He was going to make some up for my back rails, which at 1 1/4" are to big for the Simpson ones. But replacing the radar took priority. Charlie Quote
Steve S Posted March 4, 2013 Report Posted March 4, 2013 I've used Stainless Steve for Rod Holders and other S/S stuff, they are well made and stay looking good. He makes them to order to your requirements. I've just ordered another 4 for my new boat. BTW, it's best to call him on his mobile rather than email. Quote

Leicester Fisheagle Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 Bought four like Charlie's and Nigel's from Simpson Marine which they sold me as second hand at £20 each on Charlie's advice. New, they are advertised as £ 40 but they go for thirty. A few things to watch, firstly, they are supplied with SS screws, I replaced these with SS Allen Screws and they really can be made tight on the side rails. Secondly, the ones I bought had a bar through the bottom which stopped the rod handle going through the bottom of the holder. Rich S very kindly sawed off the bottom inch which removed the bar and allowed the handle to go through as far as the reel which rests on the rubbery /plastic insert liner fitted over the neck of the holder.
