Scotty’s new No. 400 ORCA Rod Holder is the latest in quick deploy rod holders.

Its a clam shell style that with one quick motion your fishing rod is lifted straight out into the fish fighting position. The downrigger mount allows great position of the rod over top of the rigger for quicker access.
Features:
• Unique Side or Deck Mounting Bracket with new Lock Down Feature.
• Tilts up and down, including upright for rod storage when travelling.
• Less missed strike opportunities.
• Swivels 360°.
• Locks closed for travelling.

The rod holder is best opened by grabbing it in front and to the rear of the holder and lifting up in one quick motion.

When you install the rod holder I have found that by putting a little reel lube on the hinges it will break in the rod holder quicker and allow faster and easier opening.
