The force is strong in these ones! I have an ABU 7000, an ABU 6500 a Daiwa SL30SH and a Daiwa SLOSh X30. Fish them high mount on Solaris 13'6" and 14"6". I did try one low mount when I broke 400 mm off the but of one rod. It cast ok but I felt uncomfortable. I made a tri-pod but Phil at TT has a very nice model, the standard TT holder works great too. Just make sure you have a rod stand which cups the but and holds just below the reel otherwisde when a big one strikes you will bust the but off and be forced to fish low mount! Tight lines, Philip.
