Looks more like that FOLBE is in the 86'ed position to me. _________________________ "Let every angler who loves to fish think what it would mean to him to find the fish were gone."

LoomisFisher Fry Registered: 10/05/09 Posts: 30	Originally Posted By: gw My buddies all run the folbe's and I'm not big on them either. I think they are a little sticky, a little rough, and hard to "sneak" a rod out of the holder if your getting light bite sturgeon. The way people rave about them, I kept thinking I'd come around, but so far I dont like them any more now than the first time I tried them. I was also worried about how they would be for Sturgeon, but my first 4 trips for sturgeon this spring have resulted in a total of about 110 sturgeon to the boat. I don't think the Sturgeon mind the Folbes Now I just need 3 more for the Clack.

NOFISH River Nutrients Registered: 03/15/00 Posts: 2952 Loc: Olalla, WA	Went out for a shakedown cruise Saturday morning, after we got all the downriggers and rod holders mounted...... The Folbe's passed the test......we were a little worried how they would handle the rod loading on the downrigger, but after reefing/bumping/twisting the rods in the holders six ways to Sunday, the Folbe's didn't let go of the rods under pressure! Tried to talk the skipper into letting me mount the center rod holder on top of that new Yamaha cowling ala EyeFish, but he politely replied "Hell no"! _________________________ Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours......Gordon Lightfoot Damn Stam!

Bantam Skytucky Redneck Registered: 03/17/07 Posts: 1354	Mine got good work out today! Had some DB Greenies out today, promised I'd get the gf dad out before tuna season. Did find them a dmbrrun! I'll have to sand them down a tad bit, they were a bit sticky today with temps up to the 80's. Although while under tension with fish pulling line off the reel they seem to function just fine! Thanks again Art for a great product! _________________________ Steelhead fishing as I know it is GONE.....
