[QUOTE="RiverBottomOutdoors, post: 290373, member: 3912"] Quick video showing how the rails work: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6cbZIlywes[/url] Have you considered mounting the holders to the gunwale or a flat surface in the boat instead of a rail? I had a few objectives to meet when I designed them: - I like to anchor fish from the stern of the boat so that the bow is pointing into the current or wind - Holders can't be in the way when not in use because my boat is small. - Holders need to be close to the seats so that you don't have to move a lot to get to them when fishing. - Holders have to be inside the gunwales of the boat. From a bird's eye view the holders can't be outside of the boat. - Have to be strong enough to handle a 70+lb catfish (biggest so far on them is about 40lbs). After a year or more and several design concepts in Google Sketchup and thought experiments (I spent hours sitting in the boat in the driveway pretending I was fishing!), I came up with these. My advice would be to create a list of requirements for your fishing needs and go from there. [/QUOTE]
