G.mech Posted June 27, 2015 Report Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) They are Salty down east holders I believe and they are bulletproof: http://www.down-east.com/website_006.htm Not exactly sure who sells them but they are available locally somewhere I'm sure (well maybe not in Yellowknife but somewhere....) Edited June 27, 2015 by G.mech
misfish Posted June 27, 2015 Report Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Im sure it,s not the one you seen but Edited June 27, 2015 by Brian B
G.mech Posted June 27, 2015 Report Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Im sure it,s not the one you seen Those Orca's are really cool too and operate somewhat like the Salty's....Canadian Tire does sell them for about 50 bucks Edited June 27, 2015 by G.mech
misfish Posted June 27, 2015 Report Posted June 27, 2015 Those Orca's are really cool too and operate somewhat like the Salty's.... I want to get two for my toon. Not only for just rod holders, but when I want to drag a harnness and dont want to hold on to the rod. I know they are over kill, but what the hell.
SirCranksalot Posted June 27, 2015 Report Posted June 27, 2015 They are Salty down east holders I believe and they are bulletproof: http://www.down-east.com/website_006.htm Not exactly sure who sells them but they are available locally somewhere I'm sure (well maybe not in Yellowknife but somewhere....) I have 1 of those and I like it too. clamps to my canoe gunwale or a boat---very portable .not sure where I got it many years ago.

G.mech thanks for the help but not quite the ones
mr blizzard Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Posted June 27, 2015 Im sure it,s not the one you seen but Brian B THAT IS EXACTLY THE ONE, the guy that has them swears by them, thanks again Do you know who sells them Thx again John
G.mech Posted June 27, 2015 Report Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Canadian Tire sells them but you might have to order them in....51 bucks. When you said you saw them 3 years ago it threw me a bit since I thought the Orca's were newer than that.....I guess I was wrong (again today)....they came out in 2012. Edited June 27, 2015 by G.mech
misfish Posted June 27, 2015 Report Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) There was a member here that was in a video using them. I could be wrong. So many sites, so many rod holders. LOL http://www.amazon.com/Scotty-Orca-Holder-241L-Mount/dp/B001M4HT4S Edited June 27, 2015 by Brian B

KraTToR Posted June 27, 2015 Report Posted June 27, 2015 Its either the Scotty Orca (I have 2) or the Folbe. The Folbe's are spendy but the best you can get. They make this configuration in 2 sizes. I use the Orcas for big trolling rods.. IE. Muskie.
John Bacon Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Has anyone tried Orcas with Dipseys or in-line-planer boards on the bigs lakes for salmon, etc.? I broke a Scotty Quick-Draw with an in-line planer on Lake Ontario. The Orcas may be a good replacement if it is tough enough.
Fisherpete Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 I use the orcas for dispeys, they work great. Because your drag is not locked down like when muskie trolling there is not much stress on them even when a big king hits.
cram Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 I picked up some Orcas from wholesalesports.com. Good price and they actually had inventory (other places I checked didn't).

fishindevil Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Yes the Scotty orcas !!!! They are the best that's the commercial I was in last fall !!! I used them and they are awesome !!!! Thanks Chris !!!!

Sinker Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 I like the down east salties better after using both types. S.
Pikeslayer Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 I have never used the salties & am somewhere between a newbie & veteran fishing Salmon on LO. Have hooked and landed all my biggest fish on Orcas holding wire dipsey combos off both sides of the boat & lead core down the chute. If drags are set proper, you will never have an issue with the Orcas.
