The most versatile and robust rod holder on the market today. The R-5 rod holder is designed to securely hold your spinning rod, baitcaster rod, boat rod and fly fishing rod. The stainless steel locking rod swings open to quickly and effortlessly remove your rod from the holder, while a fish will never pull your rod out of the holder. The R-5 is therefore particularly suitable for the deadbait rod while vertical fishing. This rod rest is not meant for trolling with heavy baits. Designed and built to withstand all conditions. Like all Scotty products, these supports will last forever!
