Quick take

A fiber-reinforced rod holder that lifts rods straight up into fish-fighting position with a locking side or deck mount.

This Scotty Orca is a black nylon rod holder paired with the 241L push-button mount, which fits on the side or top of a gunnel. The holder swivels all the way around and tilts up and down, and it can stand upright to carry a rod while traveling. It suits boat and kayak anglers who want to lift the rod straight out when a fish hits. The tube tapers from about 1.60 inches at the front to 1.86 inches at the back.

Strengths
