tite lok triples reviews???

[salmonite]

can someone give me a review of the tite lok triples? strong enough for wire????

[dewey123]

i used tite lok triple tree with dipsys but they twisted alittle and when you go to pull the pin to adjust them or flip them in the spring loaded pin would get bent to beyond use where you would have to replace them. they are expensive to replace...might be able to use a heavy nut and bolt to replace that pin. I wouldnt buy them, i had better luck with plastic rod holders.

I've used Tite Loks for a bunch of years and like them...but not for Dipseys.......I have Tite Lok triple trees but replaced one of the rod holders with a Berts ratcheting holder for dipsey use.......the trees go into a track... easy on..easy off

I ran the tite loks for many years, on 2 differant boats, I ran dipseys out of them no problem. Mine were not the pull pin, but the screw adjustment. They did twist a bit with the wire, but all you needed to do was take them off the base, and tighten the screws in the bottom. I have since upgraded to the berts adjustables, and GL Planers triple trees. I would still be fishing the tite loks if the $$ was not there to buy the new stuff. No complaints here.

Would invest in something a little stronger. I had Tite loks that came with the boat and they are good for planers but would not go as far as dipsy's. Several(all) height adjustment thumb screws were bent and a couple of mount bolts were beat as well. This year I bought Big Johns rod holders and am very happy I did so as my rod holders wouldnt have lasted this year. Dipsy's just put to much stress on those rod holders.

The investment on new rodholders were worth every penny considering the price of a dipsy/spinnie/Atomik fly, not to mention rod/reel.

thanks everybody! i did buy some, picked up two sets pretty cheap on ebay so i guess i will tie a rope to my dipsie rod and pray it doesnt go over

either way it will be a big step up from my plastic scottie ones

hey with those triples you can run 3 dypsys on each side

just take a holder off the triple and put the single rodholder on the base..
