Freespool and the clicker are your friends, lever drags are good for trolling and soaking

hope not to much damage.

im thinking it was on a scotty mount or something like it and got ripped off. hopefully no damage, just missing rod holder.

It was a http://www.kayakshed.com/client/images/full/hobie-ram-tube-rod-holder-300.jpg

No damamge. I had that wing nut as tight as it would go... And I really did not think my drag was tight, I did have it in gear becasue I was kicking around, but did not think my drag was stronger than the rod holder.
