Works great but no one beats the service you get at ack
Great compact unit for specific uses. Will be used for a starboard track
rod holder or camera / light pole holder anywhere. Not for port side
rod holder.
I bought this adapter for the track on the front console of a new
Loon 126 angler kayak. It works as it's supposed to however the
track on the kayak is plastic. Therefore, the mount isn't entirely
secure, wobbles, and so forth. I wouldn't use a rod holder and troll
with it. I do, however, place my rod in the holder when I'm not
fishing. It works great for that and would presumably be ideal for a
Go-Pro camera, or something like that.
Does what it's supposed to. I used it for the Gear Track to Scotty
baitcaster holder. The only issue I had was with the nut that
loosens/tightens the connection to the track. The nut came all the
way tightened and when I would try and loosen it it would just
spin. THis probably wouldn't have been an issue had I had the right
tools, but instead I had to be pretty acrobatic using two pairs of
needle nosed pliers
Worked great for a unique set up. I mounted this to a rear track on my Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120 to hold a battery powered stern light. The light is easily removable and the base is low enough profile. Did a similar set up for a bow light using a Scotty Deck mount and Mini Rod Holder Extender to mount a nav light.
Terrible for trolling nearly lost a $900 setup when I took a strike on
very light drag but it didn't take much for the square bolt to shear.
Luckily I was in 60 ft. And my friend was able to dive down to
retrieve it. Part of it was my fault for not leashing my rod but I
don't think a product thats holding your rod should break under
light load. Never using again.
Typical very good Scotty build quality. Fits great on Wildy tracks,
BUT Not quite strong enough for trolling - especially on the port
side. Using Scotty Baitcaster rod holders, no matter how strongly I
tightened it (as tight as possible without being stupid and risking
damage), it wasn't tight enough to stay put. Using a light action 7
foot spinning rod with 6lb line, even with a light drag setting, the
torque was enough to rotate the mount rearward before the drag
would give line. Not as bad on the starboard side, because the
torque worked to TIGHTEN the mount- but I didn't feel it was a
strong enough mount to trust for any fishing tough enough for
medium action freshwater tackle and light line. For trolling (bass,
GL trout and steelhead, etc) I will be staying with "standard" Scotty
241 mounts on my rails. They are bombproof.
These 438's will be great for rodholders used for still fishing, small
fish such as panfish or stocked trout, and for things like light
mounts or camera mounts, anything which does not require a great
amount of strength. I bought two, and I'm sure they will find
homes on my kayaks, just not for quick-release trolling rod holders
as I had hoped.
this is the way to go! forget ram ball mounts (they move a lot when
hit) so satisfied with this adapter. it is substantially well built for
scotty products. i have both ram and scotty products and scotty is
the way to go! i use it on my 2014 pro angler
Got 2 of these for my rod holders to use on my Tarpon 100 which are
much better than the big rectangular Harmony mounts.
So easy to put on or take off the kayak & if you want to slide it closer
to you or farther away it is so simple to do, just turn it to loosen it,
slide it to where you want it and tighten back up.
Scotty hit a home run with the
Gear Head Track Adapter. They
work excellent on the YakAttack
Gear Tracks and make for very
easy removal of any Scotty
products that fit into the regular
base.
Easiest, inexpensive, and all
around best way to add a rod
holder to any yack with a track
system! If your buying a
wilderness systems yak with a
track system like I did..get a
couple of these and use the
Scotty baitcaster rod holder
without mount 279 and boom
you got some awesome
rodholders that can be
positioned however you want
them!
Love the compactness and
ease of use for a Scotty rod
holder mount. makes the rod
holder even more accessible
on the Kayak. Keeps the
Fishing Rods literally at your
fingertips or out of the way in a
second.
Works exactly as described!
Goes on the bottom of your
Scotty holder and attaches to
your track. Great alternative to
drilling holes in your kayak.
Highly recommend!
A very nifty item, it slid right
into the track on my Native
Ultimate. It saved having to
use a larger Scotty deck
mount, and I like that I can
take it right off for a clean and
uncluttered look. I was worried
that it might not be secure
enough, but it grips very well.
It works really slick and takes up
minimal room. you'll need
something like the extension arm
to really put the torque on it
needed to lock it in place.
Finally! a compact track
adapter that will fit at the very
front of the rear slidetrax on
my Wildy Tarpon. Now I can
have my rods in much better
positions while trolling and still
be able to turn them to the
back when traveling.
The narrow "T" bolts turn
sideways and lock securely in
the slidetrax. The mounts
might benefit from the addition
of a YakAttack FullBack
Backing Plate to provide a
wider mounting surface.
I mounted these to my 16"
Geartrac rails which are
mounted to the side rails of my
Pro Angler. Drop in the Scotty
Rod holders and you have a
great trolling set up!

YakAttack makes a VisiCarbon Pro Light that will fit specifically in that Scotty Track Adapter. The link to that product is included below.

Q:
Does the end of the rails have to be open for these to slide on and off? Or can they be installed from the top of track. I have a feel free track that is recessed in the boat on all 4 sides of the rail.
A:
Hi, Thank you for the question. Yes the Scotty Fly Rod holder is going to have the same starport mount as the Scotty Gear Head Track Adapter. They will work together.
A:
No, this track adapter doesn't fit directly into Feelfree tracks. To attach Scotty accessories to a Feelfree Track, we would recommend getting a Scotty Deck Mount to mount it directly to the Feelfree Uni-Trak Accessory Mount.
