The forces put on any tow point can temporarily be many times greater than the object being towed. So, unless your rod holder can hold 300 lbs of instant force, I wouldn’t try it. Fishing rods absorb a lot of the torque placed on a rod holder. Tying a rope directly to the rod holder with a person on the other end exerts forces far greater than a fish of the same weight on a rod. If I were tied to the end of a fishing rod while you were holding the other end, and then jumped off about a 5 foot ledge, you would be able to hold the rod without a problem. If I tied a rope around your head and then jumped off the same ledge, you’d unwillingly be going with me.
