When I got in to kayak fishing I quickly found that there are two catagories which most kayak fisherman fall in to.

The first catagory are for those who pay for the rigging designed by others. Which can save them time and frustration in the long run however, some may never being be fully in their purchase because it doesn't fit their intended needs. At this point they will either buy another product thinking it will solve the problem or they will move in to catagory two. As both for both you guys and myself we fall in to Catagory two.

The catagory two kayak can be defined as Magiver. Members of this group always manage to engineer a design or plan to make their boat more fishable and efficient. Ussually this group will accomplish this with out breaking the bank.

I personaly went out and got some stainless steel mounting hardware (bolts nuts, washers). I then bolted and seeled 3 PVC 3" slip end caps to the raised flat portion of my deck behind my seat. Very water tight and also very strong. I then cut three long tubes for removable rod holders. I cut them long to make them easy to reach from behind me. The best part is they are out of the way when I'm not using them. I also have two mounted Scotties for times when I'm trolling. Those I keep up front. I remover my rod holders for landing and launches.
