I am researching rod holder systems for my FSH and am wondering what you are using for gunnel mount rod holders. I am currently using the following rod holders in my stock rod holders: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073XLV1TW/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1. They work great, as advertised. The problem I am having is the stock location leaves the rod outside of my peripheral vision as I am trolling so at times I have missed strikes while working drop offs/weedlines only to see the fish (Muskie) jumping behind the boat like banshees hooked for who know how long (sub 40" fish).

I am looking at an adjustable rail system on the gunnel just even with the center console. Any favorites out there? I am looking at TraxsTech, Cannon and Fish Fighter products right now but would welcome any inputs.

I am also hoping to alleviate some minor scuffing the larger, deep net is causing while resting on the gel coat at the corner as I have found the heavier fish are easier to work in the net while using the gunnel to lean over. Hoping a rail system might have an accessory to hold the net while I work the fish prior to release.

Any ideas?
