Kayak rod holders for spider rigging

GreeneGiant18 asked me about the rod holders so here's some photo's.

The short version, everything about kayak fishing is small size and saving weight where you can. Plus when I'm not spider rigging the Diamond base is almost flush and doesn't get in the way. I can quickly attached the rod holders and adjust them up and down as needed. Not perfect, but best option I've found. Especially since there small and light weight, but hold the rods I use securely.

I have two Ram Mount Diamond bases mounted to my kayak.

I have two double Bee Ready rod holders, each is bolted to a Ram Mount 1.5-Inch Ball

I use a Ram Mount RAP-200-1U Single Socket Arm with Octagon Female to attach the Diamond Base with 1.5-Inch Ball.

You the man.

Nice set up. I’m always thinking outside of the box when it comes to setting up my boat.

That is nice and compact!

Thanks Ditch!!! Really appreciate you taking the time to take the pictures!

Like I said, not perfect, but it's worked well for me though!

Ditch, is the diamond shaped mount on the kayak a Ram ball or a special type of flat round? That does not look like the standard ram mount ball in the picture.

It's Ram Mount part number RAP-272U
