Rod Holder for Trolling Set Up

[mweber02]

so i noticed that you can also purchase a harmony slidetrax mounting plate that lets you use it on a gear trac and still use the scotty base on top of that instead of having to purchase a gear head track adapter. is this just a personal preference thing? or is one method more secure than the other?

The Scotty track adapters tighten down to be much more secure than I had initially thought. The plates would definitely be more secure simply by having two anchor points into the track, however they would also be bulkier and take more time to install/remove if you do not keep them on during transport. The length of track you have available would also have to be a deciding factor. The plates probably wouldnt fit on a 4" track section.

Yak Fish uses Scotty mounts and rod holders and I think they are on gear tracks. Scotty mounts use 2 t bolts to make it very secure. They will not move regardless of the fish. The gear tracks are sturdier than the ones built in to the different kayaks

I use Scotty holders but I don't use the gear tracks. I've got them bolted straight to the hull where I want them. Nothing against gear tracks, I just didn't need them.
