Scotty 290 R-5 Universal Rod Holder w/Mount

The Scotty 290 R-5 Universal Rod Holder with Mount is a compact, versatile fishing rod holder engineered to securely cradle spinning, spincaster, bait-casting, level-wind, and fly rods rated up to 15-pound test. Built on Scotty's proven marine hardware platform, this rod holder combines adjustable clamping tension with the stainless steel construction required to withstand extended saltwater exposure and harsh offshore conditions.

The R-5 features a 1/4-inch stainless steel lock bar that pivots open for quick, effortless rod release without tools or complicated adjustments. The adjustable lock bar tension allows users to dial in a custom fit for different rod diameters and handle styles, preventing rod shift during boat operation while eliminating the risk of over-clamping delicate graphite or fiberglass blanks. The mounting system is designed for rapid installation on rails, gunwales, or other standard marine hardware points common to center console, offshore, and recreational fishing vessels.

The Scotty 290 R-5 serves both weekend anglers and serious tournament fishermen who demand reliable rod organization in variable weather and saltwater environments. Its compact footprint (8 x 1 x 10 inches) makes it ideal for boats with limited deck space, while the universal rod compatibility eliminates the need to stock multiple holder types. Scotty's reputation for durability in marine applications and proven performance across commercial and recreational fleets makes this rod holder a dependable choice for extended time on the water.
