Quick take
Universal track-mounted rod holder for kayaks and boats that fits most reels and features a rotating collar to prevent line twist.
This RAILBLAZA kit pairs a Rod Holder II with a TracLoader SidePort base that locks into aluminum boat tracks and kayak tracks. The holder rotates 360 degrees and tilts through more than 90 degrees, with a rotating collar to keep a rod from being pulled out on a strike. The SidePort also takes other StarPort accessories, so the mount can carry more than the rod holder. It suits baitcasting, spinning and fly setups on a track-equipped boat or kayak.
