yep it's a kayatank!

As far as the forward holders go I use them when halibuting....so needless to say they don't get a whole lotta use... and they are on either side of the "fish bowl" or sonar shield and are still a bit of a reach and I have long arms, but on the brightside it definitely prevents you from setting the hook to quickly!!

As far as trolling goes in general I have 4 rod holders for trolling in the back, 2 going almost straight back and 2 kicking out to the side and I use them all at one point or another for trolling, I tend to leave my flylline angled out and my weighted rig generally goes in the slightly angled rod holder and has worked fairly well.

You can also put 2 straight up and down flush mounts in the flat rail section next to the tankwell area, I like having alot of options when it comes to rod holders, as almost anyone can attest too if you have seen any of my boats.

Good luck and enjoy the boat, nice to see some one not going all pedally!

And don't ask Moyer...he's too busy to fish!hahahahaha
