Under Gunnel Rod Holder help

[eggsuckindog]

I have carpet all along the side under there and was thinking of making a cut out in the carpet the same size and just expoxy them. As I thought about that, seemed like could get nasty with trying to cut and then remove the carpet and keep it looking good, the carpet may stuck on real good and/or might frizze up the edges.

I am going to use the Berkley Rod Savers rather than the type that came on them.
