Parker, sounds like that works just fine for the rods pointing downriver. What about when a side-rigger rod is sitting horizontal in the rodholder pointing perpendicular to the boat. Is it possible to set the hook from the rodholder in this position?

I live for the Kwikfish bite on a side-rigger when the rod is bent all the way to the handle and you can hardly remove it from the rodholder.
