That's the best pic I could find of my previous boat. The black piece was hard plastic and the bottom piece flips up. Simple and inexpensive ... probably why I can't find them.

Interesting, never saw that type of rod holder.

Found a side view. Looks like I had something wrapped around around the bottom of that one. A white conduit stops against the black piece. I think I had six of those on that boat.
That was a sweet boat, a 1994 Lowe 1605 with a 50 hp.

I fished with a guide a week ago for Hybrids on Lake Conroe in TX. I believe that he had those same rod holders on his boat. I sent him a message to see if he has the name/brand/source. I'll let you know his response. richg99

I had some of those on a Ranger back in the early 90's purchased from Bass Pro. Had some reds pull rods out of em. At that time they was advertised as the best rod holder going. I contacted them about my problem of rods being jerked out but never heard back from them. I've not seen any for sale in a number of years.

Not sure if these are the same.
Bee Ready Rod holders. My guide used them for 15 - 19 inch Hybrids.

Too bad if they stopped making them for that reason. I bought a couple of these and decided they wouldn't work well for trolling and rods could come out with a bounce. And they could snag a bunch of lures when casting.
I found these which are rail mounted holders.

Those rod holders are not BeeReady, I've been sponsored by BeeReady for over 15 years. I consider BeeReady to be the best for my way of fishing, others like Driftmaster, Scott, Monster, or something else. Just make sure your rod holders will not let your rod&reel slip or be pulled out.

i can't figure out how those Bee Readys keep a rod from going overboard.

These look promising so I ordered them off ebay. If they work on the oar locks I may add a couple of oar locks and put one under the head of the PowerDrive and make a support for it. I can see how the shaft might bend eventually.

"i can't figure out how those Bee Readys keep a rod from going overboard."
When a fish gets on a rod in the BeeReady the harder it pulls the more it pulls the rod down against the back of the handle. Biggest fish I've caught so far is a 64.8# blue cat and it couldn't pull it out. Now if a fish could jump up in the air about 10-15 ft. and put a straight pull then it could pull it out.
