Quick take

A fast-release nylon rod holder kit designed for offshore use, with extension arm and quick vertical lift into fighting position.

This Scotty kit combines the Orca rod holder body with the #459 adjustable extension arm and a stainless steel star knob. The holder is molded from fiber-reinforced nylon and can be set at several vertical and horizontal angles. It is a deck-mount design that lifts the rod straight out with one motion, and it can also serve as an optional boom mount on Scotty downriggers.
