Definitely run the Down East roldholders. If you haven't seen all the amazing ways you can set them up take a look at Dave Dutchak's site (http://www.trojantackle.ca/) Dave is an awesome guy and he can make anything to your specs. Burying the rods is the best way to keep weeds from fouling your bait as mentioned and to keep big blades/spinnerbaits down and short.
