swivel rod holders

[jay weinberg]

we are looking to add swivel rod holders to our 48' davis. we already have 3 rod holders on each side so i was thinking about putting one on each corner of the transom, inside of the flats. i am going to be using 80 or 130 bent butts out of them for swords or giants. my questions are:

what brand is best? lee? rupp? ......
what angle should i go with? 15 or 30 or 90 or vertical
what depth should i go with?

thanks

I like the 15 degree Lee swivel holders. And remember, DON'T FORGET THE BACKING PLATES.

Release Marine manufactures some of the nicest equipment available including rod holders! Their 'No-Bolt' design looks great and incorporates a built-in backing plate. http://tinyurl.com/2vt325 Top quality product at a price that will surprise you.

Standard and heavy duty models available in 15, 30, and 90 degrees. Unique drop-in swivel insert option eliminates the need for separate rod holders. Also, their new outrigger halyard locking system is HOT!
