How well does the push pole holder work?
I designed the holder to be the least obstructive way of storing a push pole quickly. If you shop for a push pole holder, you will soon find out the holder is mounted in an area that will be in your way when not used. These quick stow brackets also cost around $80-$120. Finally those brackets position your pole to drag behind your boat and essentially is a pain to work around. I had one of these on my Maverick. My holder tube allows for an upright stow, in most cases you can place your pole in the holder and drive the boat normally. I have run my boat in this way with up to a 20′ pole. This does not eliminate the need for your deck clips or other standard long term storage. If I know I will be using my pole, I will then place it in the bracket holder and drive to my spot. If you have a platform, most anglers add a single deck clip to the side of the platform to minimize a longer poles tendency to shake. This is not a problem for 14′ or shorter poles.
