Default Re: Party boat rod holder question

Unless your swordfishing on the up-current side away from the crowd I wouldn't use one. They also get in the way when others are fishing around them or playing fish. Try and get around one when your flying down the rail with a hot fish. Deadsticking isn't the best way to fish tuna. Bait spins in the current when the the reel is locked up. If your line isn't going out then it should be coming in. I have seen way to many fish lost while the customer tried to get the rod out of the holder. Saw one International 50 dropped and lost while using one. This is just my opinion.
