Quick Draw rod holder

I soliciting any input on the Quick Draw rod Holders.  I currently have Scotty Baitcaster/spinning rod holder but find my rod but sticks in it because it's too narrow.

I know Joel likes his.  Does anyone else have feedback?  Also, I am trying to verify if it will fit in a Scotty rod holder base and what the internal diameter of the tube is.

Thanks,

Doug

Doug - sorry, I forgot to back at you regarding the internal diameter - I promise to get back to you tomorrow. In the mean time, I'd like to introduce you to the most advanced (and most sensitive) rod holder - soon to be in the market....presenting the "HRHS"

Thanks,

I know you are busy responding to lots of other postings so I thought I'd just see if anyone else had the diameter.  But I can wait to hear back from you.

Doug

Doug - I finally measured it = 1.5 inches = diameter from the inside. Hope this helps

 I'm trying to figure a good spot for the front rod holder on my Tarpon 13. I'm thinking side mount inside foot cubby. W/my long legs there are a few foot cubys near my calf I can tuck the sidemount into. Any thoughts? Mooch what do you think of the sidemount system for the Quick draw. Randall

Check it out and see if you think it will work.

gotcha! I had those on my older Prowler - it served it's purpose but I prefer the current model cause you only drill once and your done. And with the new kind, once you remove the rod holder itself, there's nothing sticking out 

I too like the mounting hardware (or lack there of) of flush mount. KISS princple. The top rail(by calf) of Tarpon13t is so narrow I dont know if I have the outside dia.clearance for flush mount. If you can recall, would the side mounts fit inside foot slots. does this make since? Randall
 

Hard to say - I don't know the specifics of a Tarpon. Is the Tarpon 13 a tandem?

yes and it definitly is a pain for hatches and mounting crap on. The only flat surfaces are at front and back out of reach. I'm on a mission to have it ready for mendo and seaside. are you living right in seaside? Where is Peninsula. Randall

Peninsula - the San Mateo area = Milbrae

Got some close up photos of your deck?

My old camera is having fits hooking up with new computer but soon very  soon. untill then check out the different views

....that's a tough one 

maybe others can chime in.....

I assume your sitting on the rear seat when you paddle this yak solo...if so, maybe you can fit a rod holder in front of the drink holder - right in between the two side carrying handles.....
