Default Re: Anyone ever under brace/knee the gunnels?

Sounds like a good idea.Also backing plates under the gunnels wouldn't hurt.If you think about a 500 pound fish and 25+ pounds of drag on a bentbutt staight up and down for an hour or who knows how long thats alot of stress on a few bolts in some wood.The plates help spread the load instead of popping the rod holder out of the gunnel.
