Rod holders

[WI Walleye]

I would be careful with "polished" aluminum, you'll be polishing it as long as you own it. It will grey out (tarnish) and even start to turn hands and cloths grey rubbing against it. It should be anodized or clear coated for long term performance.

Thanks everyone for all the reply’s. Sorry I’m slow responding but have been in the Caribbean this past week. I still have a lot to consider as it seems each system has its advantages.

Boondocker7 thanks for the pics and welcome to walleye.com. You’ll find a lot of good people here. I like the idea of the trees with individual holders down the tracks. I really like the setup Jules has on her boat with the variable height individual cradle holders but can’t seem to find them anywhere. I probably won’t like the price much though. i need to do something pretty fast though because I should be fishing already!

WW...thanks for the tip on the polished aluminum. If I do get those I will probably coat them.

Slack- I like those mounts on the side of the hardtop but mine being a rigid soft top will require a tree. I think I will go with tracks as well to add singles down the sides and stern as needed. So more importantly, tell me how you like your searunner! I think I’m going to love mine but you just never know about a new boat until you put some hours on it.

Thank you to everyone who gave opinions and posted pics. I bit the bullet and purchased the Cisco fishing track system. 2x 4’ tracks, 2x 3holder trees for the forward, 4 x fully adjustable tube holders, 2 each side mid and 2x short cradle holders for each end for running Dipseys. The price was painful but then again so was the price of the boat.�� I do believe these will last me the rest of my fishing days.

600 hrs since delivery Sept 2017. Would only sell to buy something significantly bigger. Trax and Cannon make rail mount versions of their holders for your arch sides. If you watch that you tube of Capt Arnie they work pretty slick. Went on charter with him 3 yrs ago and those rail mounted holders worked great with heavy coppers.

I can’t seem to find that YouTube video. What is it called exactly?
Also, what size is your Searunner that you would upgrade in size? Mine is the 210 with extended transom. 23’ overall. What engine are you running and how do you like the power performance?

Just getting new to this website and attempting to respond to this thread so we'll see what happens. I have attempted to attach a few images of my 2008 Hewescraft Ocean pro 22' showing rod holders. Anyway if this works out I will add to my post.

Okay, a decent start, but looks like the images need a reduction. Anyway here is a couple more!

That's enough to get the idea about Traxstech rodholders. Been on my boat since brand new and never any problems. They need a solid track attachment to the top of the gunnels. I really love them but very expensive, something I questioned at the time, but was in the mood to spend money I did not have :O(

Hopefully this helps to some extent. I am out of the Fenwick Marina, been there since 1992. Good luck to you and take your time laying out everything before you drill one hole, know where "everything" is going to go!

Great choice.You will not be disappointed with the Cisco system and the setup you picked.The tree and the two singles on each side will let you do everything trolling and has the best adjustments.
