I have a small 14 foot alum. boat that I got some rod holders for...in the "info" they send with the holders there is a list of other items the company has for sale. one of them is a mini-rigger that has 100 yards of ss cable and a 4lb ball that will supposedly fit into the mount for the rod holder. My question comes when I think of the strength of the mount, or is a clamp on style better? I was also wondering about the weight of the ball is 4 lbs enough if so why do I see most set up with an 8 or 10 pound ball?
I have been thinking of the small Scotty clamp on with an 8 pound ball, do I need that much or would 4 do for my uses. mostly walleye at deer creek, and trout at most other lakes. I go to the gorge but dont see me using my boat there I think there is a safety issue with it being such a small craft. what do you all think?
