Questions & Answers

What are the different types of rods that can be used together?

This, I believe, is a catch-all phrase. To protect themselves, the manufacturer has included all terms. It would have something to do with some unusually designed rods and reels. More than a dozen spinning and bait-casting reels are in my collection. All types of casting rod/reel setups can be accommodated by the Holder. Even my fly rods should fit in the Holder, though I haven't tried it yet. Unless you have a strange condition, you should be fine.

Does this rod holder come with track mounting hardware? Or just screws to secure the kayak to the gunnel?

This kit lacks the necessary track mounting hardware. Look up ASIN: and you'll find the hardware you're looking for. B018RGBW3M is a product code that can be used to identify a specific item. If you have any additional questions, please contact the Railblaza USA team.

Will it fit in a kayak that is 9 feet long?

This will fit on any kayak as long as there is enough room for the mounting base (Railblaza StarPort HD).

Is it possible to get the exact dimensions of the base plate from someone?

The base is 2-inches in diameter. 3/16" wide by 1/16" tall 7/8" in length

Selected User Reviews For RAILBLAZA Rod Holder II and Starport HD Base

The position of the rod holder is maintained
5/5

This was purchased for use with my kayaks and stand-up paddleboards. On one of my kayaks, I have it mounted directly on a Yak Attack sliding rail. What I like best about it is that it stays in whatever position you put it in.

Very good, but there are two areas where casting and conventional reel users can improve
4/5

On two of my kayaks, I have a few of these rod holders. They work well and are powerful enough for offshore trolling. The only thing I'd change is to add a cutout for the trigger on most casting rods, as well as a cutout for a reel seat clamp.

Locking and unlocking is simple with just one hand

It fits perfectly on my Hobie PA as well as my Pungo 120's dashboard.

The holder is very strong and secure
4/5

It performs admirably. Railblaza is bulkier than this. To twist the holder, you must raise the reel and lock it in. With the adapter, it works well with the rail system.

Love it! I bought two of these for my tandem kayak, and they're perfect for holding my pole while changing lures or unhooking bass

The hands must be freed up.

It's quite effective
5/5

A rod can be locked in place with ease and is rugged. On my Titian 10 foot native watercraft kayak, it works great.
