Rapid Release Rod Holders?

Whats up everyone...

Real quick, has anyone tried those rapid release rod holders....i checked the website out and they look pretty solid, looks like they will do the job but wanted to see if anyone has had any experience with them....  

also how do they tie down to your tube...strap?

thanks in advance

I don't know how I feel about those. What happens once they get a little used and abused? Will the pressure of the fish tugging be enough to pop it open? Seems a little sketchy...

To answer your question (I am only guessing) it kind of looks like the scotty rod holders. If it's anything like those, then you bolt down the rod holder to a plate that has a built in strap then strap it down to your tube.

for sure thanks Lolly and yeah i was thinking the same with the spring action...i like it cuz you can pull it out and set the hook...lost alot cuz ive not been able to pull the rod out of the basspro shops one lol

Maybe set your drag a bit looser and use circle hooks? Just a suggestion, not telling anyone how to fish.
I know that method gives me just a second or more time to get that rod in my hand. Lets them run and sometimes gets a lip hook.

All good Dexter, thanks for that    gonna take you up on that   

I like the idea we will see how long it holds up, should be worth a try.
