will this hold spinning rods? Does that mean keeping the reel facing up (upside down) on the unit?

It will hold spinners in the proper position (reel down). There is a notch on the underside of the holder for the reels base to enter (under the opening where the rod slides in). However, some spinning reels might have a base that is too wide to actually lock in. Of course the opening could be widened with a dremel or something if a better fit is needed. I have a spinner that doesn't quite lock in but since there is a twist ring to hold the butt of the rod a little better, it's not a huge issue. I also use tethers on my rods in the event I roll my kayak or a fish pulls it out of the holder so I don't need it to be held only by the rod holder. Another issue is if you have rods with really long butts, is that the butt may stick out the back too far and hit your boat (in my case a kayak). When that happens, you need to change the angle so that everything fits correctly. I would highly recommend playing with the arrangement before you actually mount the rod holder. Put your equipment in the holder, check angles and mount points and ensure that it will work for what you want to do. They are very versatile but prior planning is the key. This is likely not a big issue if you're on a larger boat with tons of space. Hope that helps.

I own 5 of these rod holders and use them with spinning reels frequently. The reels will be facing down as they normally position below the rod when holding it in your hand. Various lengths of the rod butts also work fine in mine.

The handle is "configured" for one side and the brass hose hookup is opposite; BUT the saving grace is that the entire reel rotates 360 degrees, so once assembled, you can rotate and lock it into place on either side to suit your need. I have the handles locked into place on the right side and the reel holds 100 feet of hose for me snugly. No regrets so far.

This item is extremely sturdy and will hold any rods/reels that I've ever used, including deep-sea set ups. The rods hang on the rack in alternating directions, so there is plenty of room for reels. In fact, this is so solid that you wouldn't want to mount it on light-weight fiberglass -- I have mine hanging from the ceiling in my tackle room, screwed into the ceiling joists.

They make it for both spinning and cast. If it is linked correctly this is a casting or baitcast. Look for cast or baitcast, something, versus spinning which is different..

Yes, it rod has a standard mount which should accept most salt-water trolling reels. I don't know if your reel has a rod clamp, but I definitely would recommend using a clamp to fasten the reel more securely and prevent any wiggling.

Not properly. Since a spinning reel mounts under the rod, if used in that configuration the line would not pass over the very top most roller but would instead be abraded by the roller guide wire.

The clamp that holds the units on the bar is far more secure than the ball joints that hold the screens in place.I think it would probably be ok upside down. I tried to tug it out of place and it didn't budge.

Yes it is! That was one of my concerns as well. It is sufficient to hold the rod in place. I have had mine for 2 years now and love it!

I would not hang upside down from this thing. Not ever. I have a power rack that I do pull ups from, so I only use this for knee raises and dips.

It mounts pretty much flush on the wall that the bracket that it is attached to with enough clearance for the wheel to turn to unwind the hose. If installing between 2x4 as long as the space between the 2x4 is enough for the reel to turn you will be good.

Yes, no problem with that. The reel seat is similar to any other spinning rod as that the reels can be removed. The rod is telescopic. One thing though, this does not come with a case. There are others that do but they are multiple piece rods.

the reel cannot be turned over as there is a plate where the shaft is or the shaft opening is not the same on both sides. I mounted the yard butler where i turn with right hand and guide with left. I love my yard butler.

Yes, but you need a Scotty rail mount for the other side of the side mount, No. 242 Rail Mount Adapter. http://www.scotty.com/fishing-gear-equipment/rod-holders/rail-mounts.htm

It takes. Closed face reel or baitcaster, NOT a spinning reel. If it has a finger hook on the bottom of the grip, it should not take a spinning reel. A small lightweight reel like a Shimano Chronarch 100 or 50. I have used this exact rod with much success off my float tube with the above combination for Largemouth Bass.

This unit works best on flat surfaces. If you have undulations, you risk bumping the spinning mechanism. If this happens, it could damage the unit.

This rod is for conventional trolling type reels for example search penn 113h to get a visual. It's not for a spinning reel

It can be turned around. It is very easy to do. There is a mechanism that screws tight to secure the reel to the rod. It can easily be unscrewed to flip the reel around for left handed use and then re-tightened
