1. Use the full 4 digit year for everything you are asking your question about. Example: 1962, 1988, 2000, 2011
2. Include the correct name of your Whaler model. Example: Montauk 17, Montauk 170, Outrage 26, Outrage 260
3. Include the length when necessary. Example: 16, 17, 18, 20, 22
4. Do not post your email address anywhere on this site as it is already in your user profile.

There are several brands, if you Google for stainless steel rodd holders, some should show up. I have a set of 3 side by side "Fish-On" types from Cabelas mounted on my Yeti cooler at the back of the boat. The rear 3 are to store rods. The sides are for Walleye trolling.

I only use them for storing rods when underway. I don`t have any other rodholders, and I don`t have a rail, or I would mount some there. I only use rodholders when tarpon fishing. I fish with the reels locked up with a mostly tight drag, and the clicker on, and let the fish hook themselves. I`m afraid a tarpon could rip the rod holder out of the boat, unless it was screwed to the wood seat clamps, but they would get in the way in that position. So now I will have to just lay the rod in the boat in free spool, with the clicker on, and set the hook myself after a strike, although it is not as productive. Rich
