Hi JCM,

Some guys have rod holders custom fit to the side of the ski but you have to be carefull when doing it so you don't weaken the structure. Have a look at the Jurien bay picture, the white ski has rod holders fitted inside the side of the hull structure next to the area where your feet go, I have found with my ski that the rods are easilly reached as they are mounted on the seat side o my rig, Some rigs have the rod holders at the back which make it hard to reach. Personal choice though.

Cheers

JR
