Scotty #241-BK Side Deck Mounting Bracket (Black)

They are bulky and they are reinforced with some space age futuristic plastic. But if you mount these on a kayak with backing plates they are as sturdy as you will ever need. You will break the plastic kayak before these break. I have had these on older boats for years. Some of the rod holders are almost 20 years old and probably caught thousands of fish. Ive tried different options for my kayak and for what I do and the kind of fish I fishing for the track mount holders are just not good enough. The rod holders for the tracks are fine but the track will either fail or pull the screws out of the track mount eventually. So I bought two more bases and will find 2 spots to mount these with the scotty backplates then call it good.
