Looking for ideas for rod holders for use on rental boats. The main goal is to have it secure to the side of the boat and get the rod tips away from the boat as possible. Thinking of making something in my garage. I have an idea of what might work, but was wondering if anyone has something already made.

Currnet holders in use: hold onto the rod yourself (most secure, but uncomfortable)
rest on floor, hold with foot (fairly secure, but not ideal)
orange shore pole holder in the oar slot (no security, lost rod just matter of time)

I think I remember seeing someone from this board with one.

Any got any ideas? Pics would be appreciated.

Thanks for any responses.

Go on ebay and type in rod holder.
Lots of homemade contraptions on photobucket.com too.

Why not hire some gal to sit there and hold your rod ?

Last one will do! LMAO
Have to check with the wife to see if I can keep her in the garage. Not holding out hope.

Actually found this:

Looks like it might work. Anyone try this?
