Millennium Marine Spyderlok, for Boats and Anglers Gen II

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I do welding and fabricating as a hobby. I couldn't purchase the quality of aluminum and hardware for what they sell theirs for. I bought 2 and extra base plates so I can locate the holders either front or stern. Quality, workmanship is phenomenal. I have a buddy who has had these holders for 15 years without issue. The only thing I could ask Millenium to improve is add vertical rod holders attached to the T-bar for when you want to relocate. If you troll a lot this is definitely a necessity. We use them to crappy fish here in Florida but they're strong enough to handle larger fish.Sturdiness:Heavy Aluminum construction.Adjustment capability:Adjust up to 24" which allows you easy access to your rods.

Bought two of these to add to the front of my bass boat for Crappie fishing. Also bought the aluminum plates that mounts to your deck that allows you to remove when not using. They work great! Only use when spider rigging. When removed there no tripping hazards. Very well made. All aluminum construction prevents corrosion and looks nice. Very easy to adjust to keep rods in position you want. Will out last me!

Best rigging setup, PERIOD! These things are awesome. I had originally purchased a driftmaster setup but found these before installing it. Glad I made the right choice and went with Millenium Marine instead. No tools required for adjustments. Each holder is independently adjustable left and right(360 degrees) and up and down with thumb screws. The whole rig is also adjustable 360 degrees and there are 4 height settings unlike other brands. The holder is mounted to the base plate with thumb screws which are retained in the plate on the post so the are no parts to lose and no tools needed for removal. I keep my boat covered so that's handy for me. The base plate, which are the only thing permanently mounted to the boat, are completly flat. So, if the holder is removed, you don't have any trip hazards. And let me tell you, these things are by no means cheaply made. Other reviews claim being able to hold up to big cats and I believe it. I personally crappie fish 100% of the time and they work great for me. I have my glass Ranger set up for rigging. I also purchased 2 extra base plates to mount in the back of the boat on either side. Holders can be easily moved from plate to plate. You basically have an endless amount of options. Also, the post make a perfect mounting point for RAM Mount accessories and the ROBOCUP fits perfect. Literally, the only downside is movement on one rod can be transmitted to the others. But without having a whole bunch of individual holders, it's gonna happen, no matter what brand it is. My only complaint is that I don't have a bigger boat to mount more of them in. If you are up in the air about these or not, buy them. You won't regret it. On a side note, I purchase lots of items from Amazon and normally don't review anything. I am so overly happy with these holders that I had to take time out of my day to write this. And I DID NOT receive a discount for this review. They were purchased at regular price and I would buy 10 more if I had to.

Wanted these for a while, made do with cheaper option for years, finally went for it. They are great, I use mostly night fishing under a light. They are highly adjustable, very sturdy and easily removed when not needed. Only regret not getting them sooner. Pro tip buy an extra base for the other side and you can switch back and forth as needed.

This is a very heavy-duty item. It was easy to put together and came with everything you need to install on your boat

I just received two of these today, spent only five minutes to install, and all the parts are rust resistant, made out of aluminum body, the rod holder already coat with PVC, the screws and the springs are stainless steel, the thumb nuts are brass, Very durable you can use trolling for catfish, crappies, wiper fish, walleye..... maybe for great lake salmon fishing. The price is right. Hopefully they don't raise thire price.

I like the product as it is very sturdy and easy to install, set up and use. Just make sure that every time you set it up to confirm the tightness of the knows. The teeth on the grips provide good security and the rod holders have a rubber coating that also helps hold the rods in place.

Quality material and easy to install. Functions very well and easy to adjust.
