So i am coming to realize that the ball mounted pole holders are pretty much useless if you are trying to set your pole at a certain angle and maintain it there as you troll, soak bait in current, yadda yadda.

so my question in does the maker of the Ram Side Track Mounts have a accessory mount where it has the small slotted screw down that attaches to the Ram Side Track Mounts  but has the 4 holes that the scotty pole holders have in their base so that you can attach the scotty's to the Ram track Mounts. I want to bail on this ball pivot pole holder, it is getting frustrating keeping my pole in certain place as it just pivots around this ball and potentially lead to me losing a pole because it ends up practically pointing at the water.

looks like that would be but that first one that was listed looks like it would work as well and it is cheaper and i like the design much much better. it looks like he one that was just listed, the tightening screws are pretty close to the pole holder and i would think it would be pretty hard to tighten that down with the base of the pole holder being right there... but thanks for your help guys this puts me on the right track...

The Harmony one works fine as does the Yak Attack model. I built my own that most closely resembles the Harmony one out of a cutting board.  I bought the mounting hardware from Dan.

Scotty #438 track mount should work fine.
Checkout their paddle sport catalog for tracks and accessories.

The Scotty 438 works good for light use, but the yak attack might mount system that Al posted is far more substantial. That is what I recommend for saltwater use or trolling for big fish. Rob is also right that you can make your own plate and use t bolts.
