Quick take
A universal nylon rod holder with positive locking and adjustable height, designed for fresh and saltwater boats.
This Scotty Powerlock is an open-style rod holder with a universal cradle that takes most rod and reel setups, up to a 1.95 inch opening. A front locking ring keeps the rod in place while you travel. The included 241 mount bolts to the top or side of a gunwale, and the holder tilts up and down and swings 360 degrees, so it suits boats, kayaks and docks where you want a rod parked within reach.
Best for
- Trolling for large and medium fish
