swivel rod holders

As for gunnel holders, most makers produce a heavy stainless plate with a handy rod leash attachment point so that is what I would go with there. I can't imagine using a hole saw to cut a 2.5" hole in g10 for a rod holder. Just buy the stainless plate that the rod holder manufacturer sells for that specific holder, it is like 20-30 bucks.[/QUOTE]

"Handy" as in way up under the gunnel where you can't see or reach them without crawling around?

Simpler solution is to use 10-20 ft. safety straps onto a cleat or the tube-work. Yes it can clutter the deck but then there's slack for "musical rods", moving from holder to holder as the drift changes or after a strike without needing to remove the safety straps.

They're like an outrodder for tube n worm, but there's a cradle welded underneath to hold the reel level. I use them mostly for cod fishing with the electrics. One of my friends makes them up out of aluminum - I'll try and snap a pic when I'm at the boat.

You can always make up a bent butt wire rod, and run it out of a 0 degree swivel holder - it's a better way to go.
