Are plastic rod holders strong enough.....

[walleye651]

I'm in the process of outfitting a new boat. Are the plastic adjustable pole holders (specifically Scotty's) strong enough to hold downrigging or dipsy rods? I don't want to use recessed or track-mounted rod holders. Any advice is appreciated.

scottys are all i use and have been for 5 yrs. dipseys ,boards and everything else and have never
had a problem i use surface mounts so when fishing inline boards i use the extentions so the rods are more verticle i like them a lot and would buy them again

We have used the FISH ON brand of plastic rod holders on out boat for 10 years. We use them for dipsy trolling and never had an issue. They hold up the the lake erie swells and hard pulling dipsys just fine for us.

I have now used the sco tty's on two boats for one its been 8 yrs. and a set of triples with one base and a couple of extensions on the other for 5 yrs. and the
extentions are still straight. They make a good product.
