[FISH11]

I have to say scotty all the way. I recently started using a Jackson Cuda 14 that came set up with Ram ball mounts and the truth is they SUCK. They hold a rod ok but when a fish hits, even on free spool with the clicker on and a slight amount of drag to keep the live mac from taking too much line, the ram mount let's the rod go down no matter how tight you adjust the knob. If the rod wasn't leashed, you could loose the entire rig. Might work on some little spottie but not on game fish or even a lousy bait stealing fur bag. I'm changing out all the ram mounds the cuda came with, to scotty mounts.
