Rod Holders
Hi All,
I am interested in buying some new rod holders for my boat. The ones that strike my fancy are the ones the guys on "Adventure Bound" on Channel 44, West TV use. They're stainless steel that lay the rods on a more horizontal plane and spread the lines if using more than one line on each side. I already have a rod holder on each side of my boat but I don't like to use them as the line sits too close to the dive ladder and I'm always worried that the line will break when and if it rubs. I'd like to get new ones that just plug into the existing rod holders as I don't want to drill new holes in the fibreglass. I have seen some on Ebay but I'd like to buy locally as I want to see what they look like and if they'll fit before committing to the purchase.
Does anyone know where they're made and sold and how much they go for, preferably South Metro Perth as I live in Kwinana?
Cheers,
Ken

Or these
You might be talking about these. Some boats have them welded straight onto the handrail all the way around the transom area.

The holder with the 3 rod
The holder with the 3 rod holders on the tube are the ones that I had in mind but either one will do. Are the two variants available at whitworths?
