Has anyone successfully bought a fishing rod holder like the one in attached picture? I'm trying to find out if there is one available that will fit the 17 and 18 bed. I fish a lot in the ocean here in NJ, having rods sliding around in back has been a rough one.

I use a bed divider. About half inch to tree quarters. It has a ratchet to expand divider to bed width. Then pick up rod holders that fit boat rails.West marine in Somers Point or Point tackle, used to be Brennan marine. I got four, you could get six on the bed divider...fish the same area as you...

I use this and have for 7 years, the issue I do have with it on the Raptor is the aluminum lip, I see the flex when mounting it, I used it for 7 years on my Titan, clamped it in and left it there the whole time, never an issue, including have 6 rods in there bouncing up and down the beach. I swapped the bracket that hooks on to the bed with a 12" piece of angle iron to get more hold and a lot less flex from the aluminum bed lip, works great. I dont leave it on the truck all the time now though...this is a Raptor after all. :)
