Yeah, my mom had spine surgery that affects her ability to use artificial lures. There are several rod holders mounted on my boat so that she can troll shiners behind for LMB.

No, I don't unfortunately. Just purchase rod holders from basspro or some other site, theya rent that expensive. Use your best judgement on which brand/model you purchase (since you're going for stripers, make sure they are strong/large enough handle your gear. When installing, take care that you aren't drilling into a fuel tank or straight into a wiring harness; a place you can reach your hand into, under the fiberglass/aluminum. If at all possible, reinforce the mounting position with a backing plate to minimize damage to the hull.

I have six ATKINS{sp} rod holders mounted on my pontoon for just that purpose. Two forward on the bow, two on the port and starboard forward of the helm and two on the aft of the boat. Good for trolling and bottom drift/anchored fishing. They can be purchased for roughly $18 apiece at Walmart.w I use twelve foot medium rods on the forward and 6ft saltwater heavy rods in the aft holders. Those rods can be used in salt or fresh water and have roller guides from top to bottom. They look like $800 rods. Those rods can be purchased for $78 on
https://www.aliexpress.com. Not everyone will like that setup but for old folks like myself I need all the help I can get for the big fish in Lake Moultre, SC.
We yanked out the back seat and then went with this set up for Lake Michigan Salmon.
Check out YouTube, you can find many ideas, make our own, no holes drilled mount to boat cleat setup, etc
