How to use the Scotty R-5 Universal Rod Holder with Review on the Boat with Spinning and Casting Rod

Got a quick review of the Scotty R-5, this time I'm on the boat and have the summer rods out.

In this video I have the Scotty R-5 being used on my boat and show it in action. The quick release function works great everytime.

For conventional setups, do you have to have the reel in the cradle or can you push it out further (so that you don't have so much off the rod butt in the boat)?

no concern of the spinning rod being pulled out since the reel doesnt sit in the middle area like the baitcaster?

Awesome info! I need to get a holder for my Kayak! Im sick of holding it haha. I didnt go and get a fancy fishing one though! Great video

It’s a nice rod holder when fishing but didn’t like it when storing/running. Wish it had a rubber strap at the top to fully lock it in like the 279.

Do you need to buy the base separately?

For the fly reel you need to set it into the holder with the reel to the backside of the holder . Most flyrods do not have a long enough butt section to be locked down into the holder .Heard stories of guys losing there flyrods straight out of the cradle of the holder .

Canadian Tire has the same design from Berkley for 25 bucks.

It's a copy of the Berkley Quick Set holder.
