Scotty Powerlock Rod Holder

Scotty Powerlock Rod HolderOne of the first boat rod rod holders we checked out was the Scotty Powerlock Rod Holder. This is one of the most popular rod holders on the market for any type of fishing for a few good reasons: price, durability and ease of use. The Powerlock Rod holder was easy to install on our ocean kayak, all you have to do is pop in 4 #14 screws.

Our favorite feature of this rod holder was its rugged durability without sacrificing ease of use. We were able to quickly move the holder around with out the rod becoming disconnected.

Overall we highly recommend this model, it is very cheap but does not sacrifice quality. It is one of the few boat holders that can survive on the tough environment of a boat for many years.

The compact and durable design of the holder gives it a low profile that will stay out of your way if you are on the high seas, a local lake, or even floating down your favorite river with some of your fishing buddies.
