Rod Holders for Muskie

[misfish]

Im on my way to Toronto tomorrow and was going to stop in at BPS to pick up 2 of them. I hope there are some left for me.

 

 

 

Our local princess auto had them for awhile. They sold out fast. Think they were going for 25 bucks or so.

Thanks guys, the plan was to stop in at both if my fiance will let me. I think I have decided on a Calcutta TE over the Tranx for my new muskie stick and I was going to pick that up at JB's. I figured BPS would have the best price on the holders but if they are out I will see if JB's has any. The local shop had one but they wanted $50 so I figure i will save the $10 each if I can. A penny saved...

I have several TEs... simply the best reels made.

 

JBs is the place to get everything too.

 

I have a question about the Saltys... are they all clamp ons or are they different mounting configurations? I have a Lund with the Protrack top rail about 5" wide and the clamp does not look like it would work for me. Anyone have pic of their Saltys mounted?

They have rail mount and bolt on which I would think can be used on a track.

 

I would not use them to hold the rods when cruising along as they are designed to work when there is tension on the line they would just rattle around and move alot.

What about Bert's Custom Tackle? These seem to be popular with the salmon croud. Does anybody use them for muskie?

Of your looking for Ways of mounting... Trojan tackle is the cats rear end... If you know what I mean...

saltys mounted on a bent stainless l plate. mount that to your downrigger swivel base. infinate settings. priceless. for the double clamps tighten them then drill a small hole thru each clamp handle twist a wire thru. the clamps will never back out.

Here's my setup.....coated salties and the mounts came from Dave at trojan tackle.....the middle holder I use for a six line spread on Lake O or Quinte when I'm out with my buddies....

Dave also makes smaller risers for Salties...

I use the Salty S-17 bolt-on. Hard to find but I much prefer them to the clamp on style.
