need help Identifying Scotty product

[Jarfish]

Hey guys,

 

I've had this boat for awhile now and I've never known what these scotty things are. I'm thinking they are perhaps something to do with flat lining but I have no clue what it is.

 

Thanks

looks like a sidewinder mount

Thanks I was thinking it was some sort of rod holder!

I had those on my canoe years ago, mounted them myself.

They were for mini Scotty downriggers.
