Do you notice that when using the normal black Scotty rod holders on hot summer days that the plastic will soften up some what and will actually twist on the spindle under load?
I've seen 3 of the original black rod holders break now and in different spots. This summer an MR3 went overboard because of this.... Thank god the clip was set really tight
I noticed the same thing. Tried Orcas but didn't like the look of my Islander/Sage heading down to 66ft. Thank god for the clip. It just popped out mid troll... The strikers are a bit more pricey but the way to go IMO
Right where it attaches to the arm I know one guy that broke 3 this year and at least 4 others to guides here. I don't have the new ones yet and plan using my rocket launchers when i get them for next year
The ones that I've seen break are the rodmasters (http://www.scotty.com/fishing-gear-equipment/rod-holders/rodmaster.htm)..... I think all of them were 10 years old or more, so not a new product by any means. Oddly enough, every time this has happened the holder was mounted on a railing or something, not on the DR arm.
