Also agree with the trolling in free spool theory.

Thanks for the input.

Can you put 100 feet of rope on the Accurate reel? Even if you do, that is good for one hoop net.

Maybe I did not understand your method.

Ram and Scotty both have areas they are better for. Like some of the other's have posted: scotty for rod holders, Ram for fishfinder. If something unexpectedly hits your fish finder, you will be glad that you went with ram, as it will move instead of breaking. Railblazers have quick release, which might be useful for camera mounts...another mount to consider.
