Overview
The same open-style, positive-locking Power Lock rod holder as Scotty's 230-BK, sold here without a mount so it can be paired with whatever deck, rail or gunnel mount your boat already uses.
Dropping the bundled mount is the whole difference from the 230-BK: the cradle, locking ring and nylon construction are otherwise the same holder. That makes sense for anyone who already owns a Scotty mount from a prior holder, or who wants a different mount style such as a rail or track mount instead of the standard side/deck version.
- Open-style, positive-locking Power Lock design
- Universal cradle fits most rod and reel setups
- Fiber-reinforced engineering grade nylon construction
- Sold without a mount, choose your own separately
Who it's for
Fits anglers who already have a Scotty-compatible mount installed, or who want to choose their own mount separately rather than take the bundled one. Not the right pick if you need a mount included and don't want to source one separately.
Pros and cons
- Same locking cradle as mounted version, cheaper
- Front locking ring prevents rod loss while traveling
- Works with any Scotty-compatible mount you choose
- Nylon build rather than metal
Performance notes
The universal cradle takes most rod and reel setups, and a front locking ring holds the rod in place while traveling. Fiber-reinforced nylon construction keeps it lightweight while standing up to repeated use, and the holder is built for a wide range of fish sizes and boat types once mounted.
