Does anyone in the Charleston area have one of these?

If so, any chance I could stop by one weekend and check it out before ordering them? I am trying to find good teaser reels for a smaller center console (and budget) and have read some good reviews about these. The only problem is that they can only be mounted on a rail/pole underneath the t-top up to 1.5 inches in diameter and the rails/poles on my t-top have a diameter of about 1.75 - 2 inches. I’d like to see if I can just find some longer bolts or figure something out that would enable it to work on a wider rail.
I have some cannon planer reels that are very similar to those,i have a hard top and made some mounts and mounted them to the top…
I would be interested in finding out the same thing. I have thought about the exact same issue. Let us know what you find out.
Found these the other day. I have not tried them but seem like a god value.

This link has a picture of them on a 23 Regulator and that is the setup I am looking for, only problem is the diameter of the poles on my boat is over 1.5 inches. You can see in the 2nd picture that there is some sort of bolt allowing it to clamp to various size poles, I am just trying to see if there is a way to exchange the bolts on them to have it extend another 1/2 inch.

I have two on my boat. They work well. The bolt is a machine screw, so adjustable. As long as the pole fits between the two screws you are good. I would call them, very helpful on the phone.

Just got mine in today! Order straight from big Jon and they can beef up the drag since you will be using as teaser reels.
