kayak rod holders

[acabtp]

who has rod holders mounted on their kayak so they can see the rod while trolling? i've got a couple that are behind the seat but i don't like those because you have to keep looking over your shoulder to see if you've hooked up unless you hear the fish pulling drag.

i have scotty mounts on my boat that i like, so i stuck with them and i bought some flush mounts and this for the kayak

but can't really decide best spot to stick it

anybody got pics of how you set up your front mounted kayak rod holders? without getting in the way of paddling

thanks
