Folbe Advantage Quick Release Fishing Rod Holder

[gttangen]

Folbe's are by far the best salmon rod holder I have ever used. We bought our first one this year to fish the Columbia river for fall kings. We originally had Fish-ons on the last boat, then went with Scotties on the new boat, then back to Fish-on's. However, after trying a folbe this fall, there will be 4 more added for a total of 5 rod holders.... Get the optional cams for the tilt though. That was always the drawback of the Scotties.

Where did you get the aluminum piece mounted to the gunnel?

[folbecom]

@TheCoppertop2 The big gunnel clamps are custom made prototypes and most likely wont see production.

BUT WHERE DID YOU GET THE METAL/PLASTIC WIDE CLAMP THAT IS MOUNTED TO THE GUNNEL? OTHERWISE, THIS ROD HOLDER IS USELESS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE A WIDE GUNNEL? MINE IS ABOUT 4 INCHES OR SO WIDE. CAN'T SEEM TO FIND A CLAMP LIKE YOURS. HELP ME..ELEAL1@YAHOO.COM

‎2/11/11 Jessie, I Used the Elite rod holders while on trip to Florida. Fished lake tafford and limited out each day. The rod holders worked great and were easy to assemble and mount. I also used the boat in the gulf. Brother hooked up with about a 80 lb goliath grouper while in the rod holder and it did just great (Did twist the rod while under the load-ok afterward) I feel good about these and know they will last the life of the boat. Thanks for a great product at a reasonable price. Ray Evert

How much do they cost? Are they made out of cheap plastic, or like, metal? Or wood?.. Be honest.

[folbecom]

@Honeebuket  Hi, our products are made of good quality marine grade plastics with stainless hardware and are built to take abuse and last for many years of use! Folbe's are MADE IN USA and are fully warranted!

I was on the Kenai not too long ago,and I disagree

[Tawnyfireshot]

@toddpeterson74 The Rod holder is made in Washington state for Salmon and is one of the most popular rod holders on the Kenai river with guides now.

[blitzluger]

These are the absolute best rod holders on the market. I have been guiding for 19 years and have had every other kind on my boat and NOTHING compares to these guys. One questioned if they could handle salmon...absolutely they will. If you have ever trolled for 50 + muskies you know they are like trying to hold onto a freight train with a bale hook. And NO I am not sponsored by this company.

[markeyjames22]

Cool idea- doubt they'd work for Salmon fishing, but they sure would work well for 'eyes.

[folbecom]

@markeyjames22  They work great for any trolling or drifting situation, Salmon, Musky, Stripers, they work great!

[lifeisfuneh]

Where did you get the base piece that ismounted to the gunnel ?

Thanks
