Thanks Bama and Cape Fear. I ordered a bait bucket and checked out crappie.com. Cape, you are right. Most over there use the holders for spider rigging and anchor the bases by screwing into the gunwale or using c-clamps. There are some good reviews of cleat mounted bases from Extreme Fishing Concepts so I called them. Maynard Edwards, the owner, answered the phone and he spent about 15 minutes discussing what would work best for my PII. I was impressed by his willingness to help and I placed an order. You guys are tops!
