I am adding new Ram rod holders to my Hobie Revo. Does anybody know any Bay Area dealers that carries them? I know they readily available on the online stores.  I'd like to get a feel of one before buying one.  I've got my eye on the RAM Rod Revolution Tube Rod Holder 2008 http://www.kayakfishingstuff.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=KFS&Product_Code=RAM-301-RBU&Category_Code=rh
or the Ram Tube 2008 http://www.kayakfishingstuff.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=KFS&Product_Code=RAM-301-RBU&Category_Code=rh
I do mainly ocean fishing.  Any reviews would be appreciated.

I have a diff Ram holder. So I'll let others reply on these models. My advice is when you mount the 'ball' scuff it up with some sandpaper. It helps to 'lock' the holder in place when a fish/snag torques the rod.

I have the RAM Revolution tubes. Mostly I like them and very adjustable. I have mine mounted behind my seat and trolling works nicely. But I'm not sure I'd do it again only because of the amount of flex they create in the hull. I reinforced the ball mounts above and below with a 3" square of cutting board. Not good enough. I've seen someone use aluminum plate. That would seem to do a better job, and I may try it, but I'm not sure where you'd get the aluminum.
