    Nicely made but I would have absolutely no use for one; even on a dock I would think the shape would be a hindrance to properly securing a line. Maybe as a decoration in a tackle room but not for mooring a boat.

    No thanks, not for my boat. Just a novelty item as far as I`m concerned. Maybe a hood ornament or something.

    I wouldn't buy them either. I like the cleats that lay flat when not in use. Not even sure I would want them on a dock, they look too good for that. So, for me personally, I don't see any use for them at all.

    no thanks. Don't think it would even fit a Ranger if someone wanted it.

    Remember, your dealing with mostly bass boat guys here. Our concern is broken rods, tripping and flipping interference. Walleye boats and higher gunnel boats might be your target market if you change your design to a walleye, a water ski or some other ornament. You do beautiful work so maybe your bass design can be adapted to something else like handles or hood ornaments.

    Ditto. Cool design, but not on my boat.

    Great idea, and I have to agree, it looks tall...aka trip hazard. Why not, err knot , lay the fish flat ...rotate 90* ? Keep a slot to pass the rope through. Dimensions may clear up concerns.

    Another idea for them could be for tie cleats on a trailer frame....may assist in cover tie down ?? Door / Drawer pulls for a man cave cabinets ??
