Default Gimbal lifter

Anyone have a recomendation for a good quality gimbal lifter to use with a short bent butt rod ? I have the cheap nylon type that we use when trolling. No problems when you are always moving forward, but I think that nylon thing will explode if I go head up with a big sword and fight him from the holder. Any twisting motion will probably destroy the cheap one that I have now.
TEK, you out there ? I need you to hook me up !

these are the ones I have.... the regular ones perfect and the drop in Swivel rod holders are even better (if you need a swivel)

This is the Swivel drop in...


The regular non swivel adaptors...
