I was looking at that type but was concerned about the strength. You have them through bolted right, not just screws into the fiberglass?

Maybe they are stronger then they look.

Oh, awesome fish!!!!!!!

I have fished a number of times with Mark. I had the same concern about those rod holders he has along his stern. But I have seen plenty of large fish hooked up on rods that sit in those holders. At this point, I see them as being just as sturdy as any of his other rod holders. I won't comment on his T-Top rod holders as I want to be invited back. Hopefully Mark can comment on the specifics...Don
