I love scotty's I think they are the best for a yak because of the lock ring, that way if you turtle you don't need a leash for your rods. You can also adjust them to act like outriggers and get more rods in your spread. As far as the bar or anything out there, ask yourself "if the fish of your life hit, would your equipment be able to handle it". If you are trolling in those areas I would be ready for at least a 40+ and for me that means rod holders hounted through the deck with good size washers as backing and bolts as big as will fit the holder mount.
