I bought this product to mount my poles on the roof of my truck topper. The instructions for installation calls for screwing the item to the mounting surface. I was not going to do that! I did use some JB Weld stick putty J-B Weld 8247 SteelStik to attach the pole holder to the fiberglass topper. If you plan to do the same thing, just a note on how to wrap the putty so it will get a good, strong hold. It's easiest to mount if the individual circles for holding the pole handle to the bracket so they are already secure before trying the mount it.

1. Fist, buy 2 sticks of putty. You will need it all! Then, get yourself a small bowl of water. If the epoxy isn't wet, it will stick to your fingers.
2. Use your shortest pole for a measuring guide as to where to place the brackets. Mark where to line up the bracket once you have epoxy in hand. I recommend doing one at a time.
3. Mix the epoxy putty. I recommend crawling in the bed of the truck so you're already in position when the epoxy is ready to go. If you've not much experience with epoxy, follow these easy steps: Wet your fingers in the bowl of water. Tear off a chunk of putty about an inch long. Drop it in the water to get it wet, then mix it between your fingers very, very well until the color completely changes. The epoxy will become slightly warm and soft when it's ready. Keep in mind the epoxy will set up too hard to work with in 5 minutes! So, be prepared and don't waste time.
4. Keep your fingers moist. Squeeze the epoxy to a rope-like form about 3 inches long. Starting at one end of the bracket, wrap the putty around the bracket and smash it to the roof. Keep your fingers moist as you squish the epoxy around the bracket and onto the mounting surface so there is a continuous blob of gray epozy covering the end of the bracket. Hold the unsecured end of the bracket up with some tape until you prepare the second batch of epoxy for the other end. Repeat the process for the other end of the first bracket, then also 2 more times through the center of the bracket.
5. Mount the second bracket the same way. Be aware that the epoxy will require at least a couple hours to fully cure, so don't put any weight on the holder just yet. If the holder falls down after a hard cure, just do it again. It will eventually hold if you get enough epoxy on there, and it will NEVER let go!

Just a note about the epoxy. Get the one that says steel reinforced, not the general purpose one. The putty is gray with a black center. Good luck, and happy fishing!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best, June 28, 2010

Really and truly a well-made, solid rod rack that is low profile enough to use on the roof of my boat (6 foot ceiling) and not get in the way. Good adjustment allows 6 big rod and reel combos (for halibut) to fit in the only space I have for secure storage. The best I've found for roof application.
