Overview

This is a 360 degree adjustable rod holder built for kayaks and boats, mounted with a T-shaped screw to a track or rail, and made from UV stabilized fiberglass reinforced nylon. A pivoting arm and swivel let you set and lock the rod angle by hand.

The T-shaped screw mount is meant for track-style rail systems common on fishing kayaks rather than a clamp-on gunwale mount, so confirm your kayak or boat has compatible rail track before buying. UV stabilized nylon is meant to resist the sun and saltwater exposure that breaks down cheaper plastic holders over a season on the water.

  • T-shaped screw mounts to track-style rail systems
  • 360 degree pivoting, tool-free swivel adjustment
  • UV stabilized fiberglass reinforced nylon
  • Compact, lightweight design for kayak or boat

Who it's for

Kayak and small boat anglers with track-mounted rail systems who want to adjust rod angle on the water without tools.

What stands out
  • 360 degree pivoting arm sets rod angle without tools
  • UV stabilized nylon built for sun and saltwater exposure
  • Compact and lightweight for kayak storage
What to check first

Performance notes

The T-shaped screw locks into rail track and the arm pivots a full 360 degrees, with a swivel you loosen and tighten by hand to set and hold the rod angle. UV stabilized fiberglass reinforced nylon does the weather resistance work, meant to hold up to sun and saltwater exposure better than plain nylon.
