I'm new to the site but not new to kayak fishing. I've been looking for a new forum since Yakdawgs died......Glad to see so many kayak fishermen on this site.
Anyway, I have a 2013 hobie revo 13. I installed a forward RAM tube for trolling when I bought it two years ago. The other day, I was adjusting the angle of it after a fish hit and pulled it back. When I did, the ball broke off at the mount!!!!WTF?
Anyone else have any issues like this or did I just get a defective mount?

Welcome aboard jarhead!
I use the ram ball mounts and 2008 ram tubes (bazooka looking thing) for my rod holders on my slayer.
Although i dont troll, i have read in many forums that ram tubes are not great for trolling applications.
You should look into the yakattack zooka tube or something a little more substantial to meet your trolling needs

Glad you made it in safely. I leash my paddle and fishing rods.You can make your own I use old coiled charger cables and old telephone coiled wire . The only thing I use on the rammount with the ball is my fish finder .I put rod extention in the rod holders and the one rod holder in font of me is screwed into the kayak deck.The fish will have to pull the whole kayak before the rod holder brakes.
