I didn't read this entire thread so pardon me if this has been mentioned.....
To create a more 90 degree angle, I drilled new holes at the bottom of the rod holder and inserted a new " pin" to lock into the fishing rod butt when stuck into the rod holder....
This way, you don't have to worry about rotating the gunnel flush holders, because the locking bar at the bottom is moved.
I did it to offset the rod bend associated with trolling spoons on m Maja rods that bend quite a bit. Still.........I attach bungee's to the rods so I don't lose the rod no matter what.
So the rod is more 90 degrees to the boat, then bends when trolling but still firmly in place.
