Share Your Innovations - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I wanted the spread between my trolling rods to be farther apart so I used 1-1/2" and 3/4" PVC with Scotty rod components #229 and 444 to make the solution.

I used a heat gun to coax the 1-1/2" PVC pipe to fit in the slightly smaller diameter Hobie rod holder. A stainless steel bolt in the Trackmount is wing nutted tight to secure the support that prevents the holder from rotating aft.

If the drag is set tight, the leverage of the extension sometimes turns the kayak when a fish strikes.
