Tarpon rod holders - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

hooked · 09-17-2007, 09:38 PM

Anybody have any advice as how to set up flush mount rod holders on the decks behind the seat on a 160i. I want to use two on each side, but I am concerned that they will hit each other under the deck if I don't set them up correctly, and I would rather not cut holes in my yak that wont work.

Thanks,

I like double flush mounts on each side.
you can use flush mounts or ram rods

Thanks Brad,

your set up is just what I was looking for, and did not want to start hacking before I knew it would work.

Mine are a little too close to each other.
Another inch of separation would be ideal. IMHO
