These are Top quality and the clips used on 99% of all fishing Rod racks. These clips have a hole inset on the bottom so the screw will not make contact with your fishing poles. The clip will spread open due to its flexibility and close back up when you place your poles inside them. These are also great for using in your garage or basement for out of the way storage. These are the perfect solution to do a DIY project. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. Thanks.
