Might be something for the builders/designers to think about.
Would look a lot nicer and possibly keep the carvers from butchering the new set-up.
Doesn't have to be deep, just enough to hold a pole from sliding away.

I thought the idea was to encourage folkses from piling their stuff against the rails?

I always use the cutouts that are there even when adjusting my bait or untangling (sometimes with others) to keep my pole from sliding away but hate to see how carved up they sometimes are
Thought if there were some in place it might keep people from making their own

All the Piers that I've fished in North Carolina had notches cut by the Pier but their were ones were the Pier didn't cut them done by fishermen . I personally would rather have them so as previously said when you have to untangle or bait and anything else that requires two hands you don't have to worry about your rod falling

Geez, remoras for nipple hangers? I don’t even want to think about a G-string animal. How about a crustacean.....with claws?
