Rod holders?

[Stinky_Hooker]

....no I dont run with em in there, BUT I have caught 30-50lb AJs and 20lb+ snapper out of those shortened holders. I wouldnt troll with them in there or catch acrobatic, airborn fish like kings out of em but for bottom fishin they are fine. It just depends on your use for them really.

PS, I do like the cut into the rod box idea better though. Had I thought of that I would have done it. ::)I will be replacing mine soon as they are old and ill go that route. 8)
