We greatly appreciate that. Not just the comment, but also your business. We had a lot of fun with this video.lol

We sell them for $400, all mounting hardware included. Rod holders are purchased separately, and shipping will also be paid by the customer (if shipping is needed). If you're local to us and are willing to drop off your boat for setup, we do not charge installation costs.

Great question. We always recommend to apply a little bit of grease, or something that can provide some lubrication, so the holders do not seize up in the aluminum mount. Chapstick is so convenient and cheap to use. We've been using this for years and have had no issues with a mount screw, a rod holder, or anything seizing up. Even when we go to adjust our holders or swap them up, it helps to prevent seizing, as well.

We are in North Carolina. Between Winston-Salem and Salisbury area.

So we haven't fished out of this boat, we just set it up. We do a lot of anchoring, though, and movement is just something we've gotten used to. There isn't much you can do to have absolutely no movement, but you can use different techniques to get as solid of an anchoring as possible. One thing we do, is make sure we use plenty of rope. Not any of the twisted cord, use good quality woven rope. This kind shouldn't untwist as your boat pulls back and forth. As for how much rope, we use at least 150 feet on the front and back anchors, each. This will let you get a nice flat angle to the rope, so the tines of your anchor can grab hold of the bottom. Another thing we do, is use about 3 to 5 feet of a good heavy chain attached between the rope and the anchor. This keeps the anchor laying flat on the bottom, which helps the tines dig into the ground. This makes a tough job of pulling the anchors up, but it's what we have to do. Most of anchoring troubles, all falls on how well the anchors dig in. If you get a good hang up, you'll need the assistance of the boat to pull the anchor loose when moving to a new spot. Once you have two good hang ups, you'll still have movement on that windy day. Even if the anchors hold, you still will have some sway. We let our lines stay limp a little bit, since the slack is usually not that much limp line anyways. Keep an eye on the fishing line, for any strange movement. It's a tough technique to get right, in fact, we learn something new every time we anchor. It is what it is.

@@FishBiteRodHolders appreciate the response. I do everything you said. Lots of rope and chain on the end of anchors. One think I don’t do as good a job of is making sure both anchors are hung up super tight. Will try that tomorrow

Try not to drag too early. If you have your buddy pulling in one anchor, and your holding the other, you want to make sure not drag too soon, when the tines haven't engaged yet. It's a balance for sure. If you wait too long, the other anchor will now have too steep of a rope angle. If you pull too soon, your rope will be too steep.😂 It's a hard thing to describe through the comments... ....might be a video we make someday.

We actually sell a version of our Flat Surface Mount, just for Jon boat gunnels. Here's a link to those. www.fishbiterodholders.com/product-page/jon-boat-gunnel-mount

Not sure that I understand what you're referencing. Can you further elaborate on your question?

I have this same boat and am having trouble finding rod holders to fit into the versatrack. My boat doesn't have the holes that you can slide them into.

I understand. We have another video, on how we add these "access holes" for these Track Systems. How to Drill an Access Hole for your Track System: Fish Bite Rod Holders Tips and Tricks th-cam.com/video/foB1LKYX4Dc/w-d-xo.html

Thank you for the video. This was helpful. Hope it doesn't void warranty.

I don't believe that it does. You will have to contact your dealer about that. If it is an issue, you can find some T-slot bolts that will work with your track. These are finicky and a lot of times do not provide sufficient holding power. This is why we go with the carriage bolts and drilling an access hole. But it is another option.

No, they are sold individually.

This boat was slightly leaned inward, around 5 degrees. So, not quite straight up, just leaning inward. On our site, we would read the measurement as -5 degrees.

We don't have a specific listing on our site for our Tod Racks, due to the custom dimensions and details we need. Each one of these are a custom job. We can help you get exactly what you need, if you'd like to give us a call sometime. You can find our contact information in the description of this video👍

@@FishBiteRodHolders Thank you!

Hey Janice, we've already done some "testing"🤣 (if we can even call it that).... .....we pretty much mounted this T-Bar kit to a piece of plywood, mounted to a trailer. Using the included bottom plate and hardware, we were able to bend over several Rod Holders, without the T-Bar breaking or the bottom plate pulling through the plywood. Now yes, the plywood was struggling a little, but if these are mounted to fiberglass or especially an aluminum boat, it shouldn't pull through your floor or gunnel; at least, not before the reels drag systems do their job. As for the T-Bar itself, it held up quite nicely. Don't worry, video to come in the next few weeks😎👍 We like posting stress test videos.lol

Hey Josh, TH-cam didn't notify me about this comment. We thank you for the kind words. They're in the mail, today👍

Yes, we can make them in any color option we offer. Our Covert has so many more options with it, that we haven't found the most efficient way to list them on our site. We can make custom invoices, though👍

@@FishBiteRodHolders cool, thanks.
