Overview
An open-style, positive-locking rod holder with a 1.95 inch interior cradle diameter, sold with Scotty's #241 combination side/deck mount included so it is ready to bolt on without buying a mount separately.
This is Scotty's value-priced entry in its rod holder line, built from fiber-reinforced nylon rather than metal, which keeps weight and cost down. The bundled #241 mount can go on top of a gunnel or the side, and once installed the assembly swings through 360 degrees of horizontal rotation and adjusts up and down.
- 1.95 inch power lock interior diameter
- Includes #241 side/deck mount
- 4 x 2 x 2 inch mount footprint
- 360 degree horizontal rotation, adjustable up and down
Who it's for
Fits anglers setting up a boat, kayak or dock post who want one holder ready to mount without sourcing hardware separately, and who fish a range of rod and reel sizes rather than one specialized setup. Not the choice for heavy trolling rigs where a metal holder may hold up better under constant strain.
Pros and cons
- Ships with the #241 mount, no separate purchase needed
- Front locking ring keeps rod from sliding out
- Full 360 degree rotation and vertical adjustment
- Mounts on top or side of a gunnel
- Nylon construction, not metal, for the cradle and mount
- 1.95 inch cradle diameter won't fit every rod
Performance notes
The universal cradle accepts most rod and reel combinations, and a front locking ring keeps the rod from sliding out while the boat is underway or being trailered. Once bolted down through the included mount, the holder rotates a full 360 degrees horizontally and adjusts vertically, with a mount footprint of 4 x 2 x 2 inches and a 1-5/16 x 3-3/16 inch bolt pattern.
