I was using a Canadian made (grin) Scotty rod holder, but I also use Scotty anchor pulleys. I used the anchor pulley mount for the rod holder, but it was not conveniently located and too far away from the middle seat, hence, I always got there a bit too late. I need to set up a couple of better positioned mounts as rod holders rather than anchor pulleys.
