Rod position whe trolling? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The RAM 2008's will move and pivot on the ball with a good fish on them for sure...I don't know if you can crank them down tight enough to stop this. Definitely leash your rod if you mount it in such a way that it can break the plain and face the water. I use them on an Outback in the molded pockets so they can only drop so far and stay vertical, which makes them OK to use IMO. I've had sub 10lb halibut drag the rod holder around, left to right, on the ball tho.
