Muskie rod holders. S-17 surface mount or S-11 clamp on

[glen]

Are the S-17 and the S-11 salty's the same other than the clamping or bolting on part??? They look like they will hold the rod the same. I am thinking of getting the bolting on ones.

 

Thanks for any help.

One just looks to have a lower bracket for bolting on Glen. Here's their website. It's the S-10 that is a double clamp on.

You can also see why they are a deal in BPS for $22.95/23.95 cdn in Vaughn.. retail list is $38US for the S-10

BPS is a good deal. I guess i will call to see if they have the bolt on ones.

 

Thanks Wayne.

BPS wasn't carrying them in the spring when I needed a few. I bought mine at JB's and the prices where just as good. JB's is one of the few places in the Toronto area that keeps stock on hand in most models.

I called Lebarons last week and they are not selling downeast rod holders this year. They had them last year. Its seems hard to get the bolt on ones.

 

Thanks Smokey i will try there if not BPS.

I've never noticed the bolt on S-17's in there Glen... may have been there..just wasn't what I was after. The clamp on S-10's are generally hanging on the end of a shelving unit..an end facing the reel counter.

 

And Mike's got a point...go spend the money at JB's if they have it... and Browse muskie row while you're in there.

I prefer the S17's myself but they are hard to find... especially in black powdercoat - almost extinct 'round these here parts! I settled for the 'classic' look.

The S10 and S17 use the same bucket/holder jst the mount is different. The D series is smaller for single clamps and rail mounts.

I picked up two of the S-10's at BPS in Vaughn about 3 weeks ago....great price at around $24 bucks each too.

Glen... if you can't find locally. Here's a dealer in MN that's at least cheaper than Down-east directly

Dang... I shouldn't have gone there.. they have muskie baits as well at fair prices.

 

Here's a place that has the -11 and the -16 kit to make it a -17 at good prices.
