Mike -

I use a static (non-stretch) line with several adjustment points for my clips/carabiners. I don't want any more give than my rod provides.

I reality, I found an angle of +/- 45 degrees works best for me, and seldom reposition the holders. Too far forward and it's too close to the boat, too far to the rear and you have to move your head too much to watch your rod tip. When you're close to a baitbarge or wherever, you can fold them in towards the front of the boat so they don't get hung up.
