Rod holder ?

Use an outrodder in a 0* fwd of the rod box and a "Kite" double rod holder in a 30* straight back furthest aft. The the lower rod gets a flat line clip, upper line will be the wfb line

Thanks-yes agree-so what you are suggesting is there is no point in using swivels other than at transom?

The other 2 positions can be fixed (no advantage to swivel)?

Your suggestion (correct me if wrong);
Transom corners = 0* swivels
Mid gunnel = 30* fixed
Closest to helm = 0* fixed with outrodder

Assuming you can place 2 rods in each outrodder-this would actually allow me to fish 8 lines?! Might get a little tight if I can't spread them out enough...

Edit; skink do you have a pick of the cockpit/gunnels while you are running that spread shown in the pic above?

Thank you!

P.s. Love your setup with the hard top and riggers...
