As I read the many posts on this site I see I have more to learn than I thought.  Many thanks for the opportunity.

I have held the rod while trolling without benefit of a holder, too, without thinking there was much option.  A holder sounds great, but as I look at the pictures I think I am seeing either permanent mounts (for the holders suggested in this thread), flimsy clamp-ons that I would not trust (in google search), and/or clamp-ons that would leave rub marks on rented canoes.  Are there clamps I am missing?  Any thoughts on the eagle claw deluxe clamp-on?      (You need to Login or Register
