I heard they do not work well with some bow eyes. particularly cast eyes.
I have also heard that you have to get them adjusted just right to work
reliability. My ABA partner Hammer had one on his Ranger trailer. It did
not lock up very reliably. I have also heard a couple people who swear by
them

i am considering one of these spring loaded bow locking devices at BPS.
looks like it would make loading the boat easier especially when
fishing solo. does anyone here have experience with this or similar
product? is it a gimmick or does it work as well as they claim?
