Full Disclosure: I am with LPG and would like to address these comments. LPG rod holders were redesigned about 3 years ago and are now able to withstand the greater load of dipsys and in-line boards. The improvements made include: stainless steel pins as opposed to aluminum; more robust hand wheels; and thicker angle arms (the part that holds the rod holder to the slide base). Also, LPG sold a spring loaded rod holder that was advertised as NOT recommended for trolling. Even so, LPG has discontinued that type of rod holder.
