The Scotty 264 Fly Rod Holder with the 244 Flush Mount is a popular setup for anglers looking to securely store or transport fly rods on their boat. Here’s a breakdown of each component and how they work together:
Scotty 264 Fly Rod Holder
– Designed specifically for fly rods, with a longer tube to accommodate the length of fly rods (typically 7–10 feet).
– Features a hooded design to protect rod tips from damage.
– Made from UV-stabilized polypropylene for durability.
– Equipped with a quick-release mechanism for easy rod access.
– Compatible with Scotty’s mounting systems (including the 244 Flush Mount).
Scotty 244 Flush Mount
– A low-profile base designed to be flush-mounted into boat gunwales, decks, or other flat surfaces.
– Provides a clean, streamlined look when not in use.
– Made from marine-grade materials (stainless steel hardware and corrosion-resistant plastic).
– Works with various Scotty rod holders, including the 264 Fly Rod Holder.
Installation & Usage
1. Mount the 244 Flush Mount by drilling a hole in your boat’s surface and securing it with screws (seal with marine sealant to prevent water intrusion).
2. Insert the 264 Fly Rod Holder into the flush mount—it locks securely in place.
3. Adjust the angle (if needed) for optimal rod positioning.
4. Insert your fly rod—the hooded top keeps it secure and protected.
Best For
– Fly fishing from boats (drift boats, skiffs, pontoons, etc.).
– Anglers who need quick access to rods while keeping them safe.
– Minimalist setups where a flush-mount is preferred over rail or clamp mounts.
Alternatives
– If you don’t want a flush mount, consider the Scotty 241 Side Mount or 141 Locking Mount.
– For heavier rods, the Scotty 258 Rocket Launcher might be a better choice.
