Due to the unreliable locking mechanism of the rod holder to the gearhead, I have lost 2 of Scotty rodholders into the water, forever gone! Both times I was kayak fishing and got strikes. When lifting the rod out quickly the rod holder lifts out as well and drops into the water. Don't waste your money on these. Yak Attack has a much more reliable locking mechanism.
