I'm looking to add a t-top for my boat but the Stryker I was looking at negates the ability for me to use the 6 rod holders in my console. Has anyone else bought an aftermarket t-top that still lets you use your rod holders?

how big is your boat? isn't it 21' if so a t top is going to make fishing off back deck tight. I know on my boat it would. I can see 24' and up boats using them and still having space but on a smaller bay boat it just gets cramped. much easier to put a top up and down imo. but its your boat if you want one there are plenty of companies that offer nice custom t tops

Custom is the way to go, you can get it exactly how you want.

Fishmaster sells gromets so console rod holders can still be used.

I have a leaning post with 6 rocket launchers and 6 more on my T-top so that's what I use. I like those fishmaster grommets I may get 6 of those. The ones in my leaning post launchers sometimes get in the way when you fish the back of the boat.

Got the Stryker and lost the holders on the console. Absolutely hate the ones on top of the t-top. Tangles everything to shite if there is any chop. I've had pre tied stuff break off and tangle in ways that seem to defy logic. We ride with rods on the floor more often now because of it. It's a terrible habit and eventually I'm sure we'll step on one and break one.
