I prefer to fish one rod per riggertoo, but sometimes you just have to fish more than that. Sockeye season comes to mind, but I have also had other times where I've fished three before. I was going to buy one of those dual rod holders made by scotty, is there a reason you prefer the seperate ones mounted on the gunnel to the dual setup? Do you get more tangles with the dual? Or is it just space?
Thanks

Sark,
The dual ones are BIG, not adjustable and not much use for other stuff. The regular Scotty fish-on rod holders are much small, adjustable in all dimensions, easily removable (I store mine in the gunnels) and the mounts can be used to hold other items (grills, a crab pot pulleys, a table, etc.).
In a 22', I think fishing with 2-3 people is ideal and 4 is possible but tough. I usually fish with no more than 3. That means one/rigger and one out the back. When fishing's really good (like at Neah Bay), I can easily limit 4 people on 2 rods and I think it's just more fun/easier to deal with just 2 rods.

This thread is almost 20 years old but I thought I should put a plug in for the Scotty 1106 Downrigger. We bought ours 5 years ago and it has been working well but the last time we were out, the unit was showing about a 50 ft. drop of the lead ball for about every 5 ft. that the ball was actually dropping. When I got home, I called the company (based in Canada) and an actual live person answered. I explained the problem to the operator and she transferred me to the Marine Division. I explained the problem to him and he said, "You have a stripped gear in the counter and we need to mail you another one." He took my home address and in just 7 days, I recieved the new line counter and now all is well. The company stands behind their product.
