I have to go on record that I do like my Folbe rod holders but for the second time I had one fall out of the gunnel lock and head to Davy Jones's locker. Pretty expensive for that piece of $hit locking system.

I know why they are built that way but the locking device is still a piece of $hit.

Now, as I can't find one here in the Aberdeen/Hoquiam area I gotta go out of town and buy a new one.

Anybody figure out a way to secure the rod holder to the piece of $hit locking base that it can't come out? I'm headed for the drill motor right now and gonna attach some bailing wire too them. Now, that's gonna be pretty! But, should match pretty good: a piece of $hit wire to a piece of $hit locking system.

My name is fp and I don't approve the piece of $hit locking system on the Folbes.
