I drilled holes through the hat shelf. Then took a long chunk of 1/4" (IIRC, pretty heavy) X 3" wide by roughly 12 - 15" long piece of steel and drilled through that as well, and used hardened bolts to bolt the reels on top, through the hat shelf, through the steel 'load spreader'. With hardened washers on both sides. Thus the reels are bolted on the top to a large, wide, solid chunk of steel underneath the hatshelf. The hatshelf itself looked to be solid enough to handle the stress, as long as the force wasn't concentrated on a small hole and a washer, pulling against a drilled hole which would easily rip out.
