With the weather looks like sails vs swords - Looking to pick up a couple of 3 rod clusters (Taco or Tigress) Do you guys prefer the straight or bent ones? THANKS DUKE

The bent butt ones are pretty sweet. Get the Hydra Trident, it swivels and it makes life so much easier.

Nick, I'm going to steal yours this weekend

Trust me on this.... get the ones from Hydra Enterprises

I personally like the the tilt and swivle as you can fishing from any angled holder.
But even the regular tridents he builds will out last the other brands!
