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
Among the single rod holders in this comparison, the YakAttack SG Rod Holder sits at the top of the price range at $40.95, well above the Mossy Oak holder's $25.49, the Hoffen RD7739S15-2's $25.99, and the Scotty 230-BK's $24.95. It is also the lightest by a wide margin at just 0.01 pounds, built from plastic and finished in what the listing calls Black Professional.
What justifies the higher price, at least on paper, is review volume. With 2,200 reviews, it has more feedback behind it than any other holder in this comparison, including the Scotty 230-BK's 1,500 and the Mossy Oak holder's 1,400. The 4.7 star average matches both Scotty models, meaning this isn't just a high-review, low-rating product, it holds a strong score at scale.
Bought last month sits at 200+, the same tier as several lower-priced competitors, which suggests demand is steady rather than accelerating. For buyers who value a deep review history as reassurance, that 2,200-review count is the standout number on this listing, even if the price tag asks more upfront than most alternatives here.
Pros
- 2,200 reviews is the largest sample size of any rod holder in this comparison
- 4.7 star rating matches both Scotty models despite the much larger review pool
- 200+ bought last month keeps pace with lower-priced rivals
- 0.01 pounds makes it the lightest option by far, notable for kayak use
- YakAttack brand is closely associated with kayak fishing gear
Cons
- At $40.95, it is the most expensive single-unit rod holder in this comparison
- Costs over $15 more than the next closest priced option
- Plastic construction, similar material tier to cheaper alternatives despite the higher price
- Bought last month figure ties rather than beats several lower-priced competitors

Performance notes
At 0.01 pounds, the listed weight is dramatically lower than every other holder in this comparison, though this is likely a mounting bracket or lightweight component rather than a full assembled holder, given how far it falls below even the 0.15 pound Mossy Oak unit. Built from plastic in a Black Professional finish, the material itself is not a departure from other budget and mid-range options like the Scotty 0280-BK. The price premium here appears tied more to the YakAttack brand and its association with kayak fishing setups than to a heavier-duty material spec. For kayak anglers specifically, minimal added weight matters more than it does on a larger boat, which may explain both the design choice and the price buyers are willing to pay.
What buyers say
A 4.7 star rating across 2,200 reviews is the deepest and one of the strongest combinations in this entire comparison, matching the rating of the Scotty holders while carrying roughly 700 more reviews than the next largest sample, the Scotty 230-BK's 1,500. That scale suggests the rating is a highly reliable signal rather than a small-sample fluke. At the same time, 200+ bought last month is on par with several cheaper competitors rather than clearly ahead of them, which suggests the large historical review base reflects a long selling history more than a current surge in demand.
