I was looking at rod holders at the local Basspro and realized that I'm a fan of the under the leg technique.  Why, you ask? Well, I'm usually looking around at the scenery and this way I can feel the "hit".  With a rod holder I might not realize it until it's too late. Plus I just kinda dig that jolt under the leg of getting a hit.  It's exciting.

I have a nice clamp on rod holder Cabelas Quick Draw Brand. Thought it would be great. First portage I realized it was just something to get hung up/plus add weight.

Went to the old school under the leg technique and never looked back.
