I have the model up from this and brought a gimbal that fits into a rod holder. You can get them from the same mob or most tackle shots.
Works a treat - Holder just screws into the base.
I have given up using yamashita boards, drives me nuts constantly coming on to surface. harder to manage than my wife.....
I only occasionally troll for mackerel in the bay, nothing sophisticated or complicated needed.
I was looking at Escapin Tackle downriggers Handerson brand for $99 including the ball.
Looks like would match my needs of cheap, sturdy but nothing complicated, hoping it would survive for basic trolling.
Problem is I wont screw anything else to boat.
How can I make this unit to fit in to my existing rod holder?

I was having the same trouble with the Yamashita ones too. Shortened the line between it and the spoon to about 2m.Problem solvered.
Not to get technical...... but according to Chemistry, ALCOHOL IS A SOLUTION
