so I think the least favorite aspect of my Hobie PA are the H Rails, personally prefer the slots - convinced Hobie did the H Rail just to line their pockets with ca$h...alright, off my soapbox.

but

what H Rail rod holders do you guys like on the PAs?  Looking for something that can take the stress of a downrigger, easy in, easy out....but rod won't just pop out.

I've got my rod holder up on the t tracks now, but they're so far forward it takes me a while to address the rod when a bite is on.

side question: has anyone removed the h-rail from your PA?  I figure the biggest challenge would be supporting the rudder control and thrust direction control.  Or maybe I could attach some metal t-track to the top of the h-rail - wonky but might work

I sold my pa last year but I used Hobies Scotty h-rail attachments with Scotty’s rocket launcher rod holders. The Scotty lake troller down rigger uses the same mount so if you get one for each side you will be good for trolling or fishing 2 rods. Pm me if you want more info on how I had it all set up.

Have you tried adding like some rubber to go around the hrail before you clamp on the rod holders. It’s helps a little until the rubber starts getting torn up to. Message me if any questions!!
