Our verdict
The Bert's Custom Tackle MF5000 Boat Track System Kit with 4 rod holders costs $599.99, over twenty times the price of single rod holders in this comparison, and while it holds a 4.8 star rating, that score comes from just 6 reviews and 0+ bought last month.

Boat owners setting up a full four-rod track system in one purchase rather than buying and mounting individual holders piece by piece. This suits someone building out a dedicated trolling or offshore rig from scratch.
Skip if
Skip this if you only need one or two rod holders, or if you want a proven track record before spending near $600. With only 6 reviews and no recent purchase activity, there is little buyer data to lean on compared to the single-unit options here.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Bert's Custom Tackle MF5000 Boat Track System Kit is priced at $599.99, a different category entirely from the single rod holders in this comparison, which range from about $16 to $41. That price reflects a full kit rather than one holder, packaged with 4 rod holders as part of a track-mounted system for a boat.
At this price point, the buying decision is less about matching a spec sheet line by line and more about whether a full track kit fits the build plan for a boat's rod storage. A track system typically lets holders slide and lock into position along a rail, which is a different setup than the fixed-mount single holders also covered in this comparison.
The review record here is thin. A 4.8 star average sounds strong, but it is built on only 6 reviews, a far smaller sample than the 362 to 1,500 reviews backing the other rod holders in this set. Bought last month sits at 0+, meaning there is no recent purchase volume to point to. That combination makes it hard to say with confidence how this kit performs for the average buyer, even though early feedback is positive.
Pros
- 4.8 star average is the highest rating among the rod holders in this comparison
- Includes 4 rod holders in one kit rather than requiring separate purchases
- Track-based system allows repositioning holders along a rail rather than fixed single-point mounting
- Currently in stock and available to order
Cons
- At $599.99, it costs more than 20 times the price of the cheapest single holder in this comparison
- Only 6 reviews back the 4.8 star rating, a very small sample to judge from
- 0+ bought last month shows no recent purchase momentum
- No listed material or weight specs to compare against other options
- Only makes sense for buyers committing to a full 4-rod track setup
Performance notes
Because this is a track system kit rather than a single fixed holder, its value proposition is different from the other rod holders in this comparison. A track system is designed to let multiple holders slide and reposition along a mounted rail, which offers more flexibility than a single fixed-angle holder like the CZ7739-90-2 or the 230-BK. Including 4 rod holders in one purchase also removes the need to source and mount each holder separately, which can simplify a full boat rigging project. Without listed weight or material specs, it is hard to judge durability directly, so buyers considering this kit are largely relying on the Bert's Custom Tackle brand name and the track-mount concept rather than a detailed spec comparison.
What buyers say
A 4.8 star rating is the highest of any rod holder product in this comparison, but it rests on only 6 reviews, which is a tiny sample next to the 362 to 1,500 reviews behind the other listings. That makes the rating directionally encouraging but not statistically strong evidence of consistent buyer satisfaction. Combined with 0+ bought last month, the data suggests this is a low-volume, niche purchase rather than a frequently repurchased item. Buyers should weigh the strong early score against the limited amount of feedback backing it up.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the Bert's Custom Tackle MF5000 cost so much more than other rod holders?
At $599.99, it is a complete boat track system kit that includes 4 rod holders plus the track hardware needed to mount them, rather than a single standalone holder. That bundled scope explains the price gap versus individual holders priced $16 to $41.
Is the 4.8 star rating reliable given only 6 reviews?
A 4.8 star average from just 6 reviews is a very small sample compared to competitors with hundreds or thousands of reviews. The score is a positive early signal but does not carry the same statistical weight as the larger review bases on other rod holders in this comparison.
What is included in the MF5000 kit?
Based on the listing, the kit includes 4 rod holders designed to work with a track-mounted system on a boat, letting holders be positioned along a rail rather than fixed to a single mounting point.
