I read a while back that if you're using one for a rod holder that's being used for trolling you want to keep it on the right side of the kayak. Even still if the fish hits are levers the rod around counter-clockwise you risk loosening the ball. It might be worth mounting a diamond-based ram ball to dedicate for rod holder use.

Yea i'm thinking the same, Diamond base 1" ball seems like it will fit my needs. I'm actually asking because i just picked up an oasis and the rails on that thing has no space.
