Love these. simple to mount and easy to use. Strong support when hooking fish and quick release when grabbing the rod. Price has come down over the years.

Bought this for musky , purchase the r5 Scotty mount but it’s only ratted for 15 pounds test line that’s why I purchase those one , really glade I did

Although I have used other rod holders, this one is my favorite!The quick release enables me to set the hook, almost immediately, and it has been totally reliable on 3 fishing trips thus far.Fantastic for salmon fishing:)

Not happy. I bought 2 but when installed the unit wouldn’t release the fishing rods. The entire unit popped out every time I tried to pull it out.I tried wd40 but didn’t work.Returned it

Uchwyt wygląda solidnie ale w tej cenie powinien taki być. System blokady i wypinania wędziska wydaje się być wygodny.

I use these for catching Sturgeon in BC.Very easy to remove the rod when that 10ft fish hits.

After trying several other slightly cheaper manufacturers models, I finally took the plunge and bought Scotty Orca rod holders for my boat.Design, construction, rod security and operation are flawless.Why scrimp on the cost when you will have 100’s invested in rods and reels.Wish I had at the time.

Rod holder works well clears my engines and easy to release when fish on

Purchased 2, then 2 more after using the first set. I have Scotty PowerLock rod holders as well (they work good for salmon fishing, musky fishing and walleye fishing as well) and for Salmon fishing with Dipsy divers I wanted something quick to get the entire rod out of the holder quickly and easy for my two younger boys who like to go fishing as well for Coho, Browns... Kings I will take the rod as they put up a hard fight early. These fit the bill to a T and at the launch last weekend a guy asked about how we rig our boat for Salmon fishing and I showed him the rod holders and he and his wife agreed worth the extra money to get the rod out quickly after trying both the powerlock and Orca's. Key is to pick up the front of the rod slightly before the back and make sure someone didn't lock the white knob at the end as I read a few reviews where people couldn't get them to work. If you pull the back up first it will not release which is good because that keeps it locked when a fish hits or you snag something. I always check drag settings because King Salmon can push over 30# and they love to grab a bite to eat and run for the other shore. I see no issues in these holding up and very high quality for a fair price. Originally was looking at another brand but I have 12 rod holders and that cost was hard to justify. I use PowerLocks on my planner board rods and these for Dipsy and downrigger stacker rod (downrigger has holder for main). Everyone that fishes with me likes this mixture of holders and no complaints on not being able to get the rod out in time. Always give them a few practice pulling out a rod when new guys go out with me to make sure they understand how to use prior to a fish. My 8 and 11 yr old kids can pull out with a fish on but no question they only come out when you pull them out not the fish.If you have older non locking scotty bases already on your boat or come with other Scotty holders these work in those bases as well but these lock which is nicer for use as any pulling up action doesn't move the holder. In the non locking bases when you're done fighting the fish you might need to press the rod holder back into the index spot you want (again only if you have other scotty non locking bases already on your boat that don't lock). Not a issue with the bases that come with these as they lock down and push a button and they release and also work with other scotty rod holders. I have about 1/2 locking and 1/2 non locking bases on my boat. I use the non locking in area's I swing the rod positions when reeling in a fish like the back of the boat down the chute and in the front location for planner boards holders as I don't use these Orca's in those location. Locations like Dipsy divers where I don't swing the rods locations I use locking bases.The mix of Orca and Powerlock IMO is a good mixture for all around fishing where planner boards don't require instant fighting of the fish as the board gives you some reaction time but downriggers and dipsy divers or flat line rods these are great to have on board and complement the powerlocks nicely on a full spread. I run up to 12 rods in a 19ft boat w/o any problems, I do have 4 holder in the front of the boat to help keep lines apart on planner boards is running all 12.If you find the angle isn't right they make a friction pad Blue and Green disk so you and infinitely adjust these or other scotty rod holders. I use these for flat lining so I can get the tips of the rods closer to the water. They hold perfect even on the Orca's as I flat line at times while walleye fishing and like the quick access to the rod to avoid a shaker getting line and losing a fish.

I bought this rod holder and mounted it near my drivers seat. It is extremely sturdy and should be capable of safely holding a very large fish. It also looks professional and the Scotty mount is both sturdy disconnects easily.My only complaint is that it can take a lot of force to open the rod holder in order to place the rod inside. The first few times I was almost worried that I would break it. It has gotten easier with use so it isn't a big issue. Strangely though it has always opened easily when removing the rod.The locking mechanism is also sturdy and easy to use.It was quite a bit more expensive than the other Scotty mounts and I'm not quite convinced it is worth the premium. But if you are looking for a very strong and sturdy rod holder you can't go wrong.

well made,very functional and one of the best rod holders on the market.A very positive closing and opening system.A must have piece of equipment on my boat.I would never be without my Scottys.

Da hat sich endlich mal einer Gedanken gemacht. Super Rutenhalter. Leichte Befestigung am Boot möglich. Schleppen mit Ködern 40 cm + kein Problem. Ruetn sitzen auch ohne das verriegelt wird bombenfets

Nach langer suche auf vernünftige Rutenhalter fürs Schleppfischen bin ich nach einer Trollingtour auf Scotty gestoßen. Nach kurzer Auuswahl kam ich dann auf die Orcas und bin überaus zufrieden. Diese halten die Ruten sicher, auch wenn diese nicht verriegelt sind. Auch von der Scotty Qualität bin ich sehr überzeugt! Ich würde mir nicht mehr son labberiges Ding ins Boot bauen, die man hier in den meisten Geschäften kaufen kann.Durch die mitgelieferten Sockel kann der Rutenhalter auf zwei Seiten Stufenweise 360° gedreht werden sowie ebenfalls Stufenweise die Schräge der Halterung.Der Halter wird auf dem Sockel verriegelt und kann so nicht einfach abgehen, aber einfache demontage der Halterung (festmontage Sockel) wenn der Halter vom Boot demontiert werden soll.Auch gibt es noch viel zusatzmaterial von Skotty...Wer eine hohe Qualität und Sicherheit haben will kann und muß sich für diese Entscheiden. Die sind ihr Geld Wert und für mich DIE MARKE!
