Stove bolts mounted thru the rodholders will decrease the chance of rod damage in those rod holders. But if your handles are long you could bend appropriate PVC in hot oil to make rod holders that would have nothing at all inside to mar the rods.
Roy Hoops fished for years with only a rowboat and has flathead up to 73 pounds to his credit.

you know what dude i am almost 100% positive i have those little black rubber boots that fit over half inch nuts that will cover those top nuts up and protect your rods from hitting them. i will look in my garage tomorrow. if i got them you can have em i will just throw them in an envelope and mail them to you. plus it will keep water from getting down in the threads and lockin that nut up.

Sounds good Jordan I appreciate it. I got a chance to take it out and fish this weekend at Buckeye lake. Channels weren't hittin too good yet but I did get one while I was figuring out how to drift and the rod holder held up fine.

Yea Kip my buddies work construction and got the pipe and all thread for free! I plan to slowly upgrade to driftmasters, but I mainly only tight line for channels so I think these will hold up fine. Drifting For channels across shallow flats in late summer is the way to go. Im talkin one to two feet of water.

Yea that's what I've been hearing. I've tried out some drifting already this year and I plan to perfect it at some point.
