The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Setting up a small boat or a garage rack with four rod spots at once can get expensive fast if each holder is priced separately. The FAS-ROD-HOLDER-2 addresses that directly, bundling four aluminum holders for $13.99, or roughly $3.50 each, the lowest per-unit price of any holder in this comparison.
The spec sheet lists aluminum construction in a green-white color scheme, with the feature field marked simply as NO, indicating no additional accessories or mounting extras beyond the holders themselves. Aluminum offers a lighter, more corrosion-resistant option than basic plastic, though it is a step below the alloy and stainless steel used in the pricier GADFISH holder.
The review numbers reflect the budget positioning. At 4.2 stars across 144 reviews, it matches the GADFISH holder's rating exactly but with a smaller review sample, and it trails the 4.5-to-4.7-star range of the Sea 27-2P and both Scotty models. Still, 300+ bought last month is a healthy figure, ahead of the Sea 27-2P's 50+ and the Scotty 0280-BK's 200+, suggesting the low price point continues to attract steady buyers despite the modest rating.
Pros
- At $13.99 for four holders, the per-unit cost of about $3.50 is the lowest in this comparison
- Aluminum construction resists corrosion better than basic plastic holders
- 300+ bought last month beats the Sea 27-2P's 50+ and the Scotty 0280-BK's 200+
- Four-piece pack is enough to outfit a small boat or multiple garage rack positions at once
- Green-white color scheme is easy to spot against most boat decks and dock surfaces
Cons
- 4.2-star rating trails the 4.5-to-4.7-star range of the Sea 27-2P and Scotty holders
- 144 reviews is one of the smaller review samples in this comparison
- The feature field lists NO, meaning no extra mounting hardware or accessories are included
- Aluminum does not match the long-term durability of stainless steel for heavy saltwater use

Performance notes
Aluminum construction strikes a middle ground between basic plastic and premium stainless steel, offering decent resistance to rust and general wear at a lighter weight than solid steel holders like the GADFISH model. The green-white color scheme is a distinct look compared to the mostly black, silver, or wood-toned competitors in this comparison. With the feature field marked NO, buyers should expect just the four holders themselves without bundled screws, clamps, or mounting brackets, so any additional hardware needed for installation would have to be sourced separately. For anglers prioritizing raw holder count over included extras, the four-pack format covers more mounting points per dollar than any single-unit alternative here, though budget accordingly for whatever screws or brackets the install ends up requiring.
What buyers say
At 4.2 stars across 144 reviews, this holder ties the GADFISH model for the lowest rating in this comparison, and its review count is also on the smaller side relative to the 700-to-2,900 range seen on the top competitors. Despite that, 300+ bought last month outpaces both the Sea 27-2P and Scotty 0280-BK's recent purchase figures. The pattern suggests a budget-focused product that continues to sell well on price alone, even though its rating and review depth have not caught up to the more established, higher-priced holders in the group.

Frequently asked questions
How much does each holder cost in the 4-pack?
At $13.99 for four holders, each one costs about $3.50, the lowest per-unit price among the holders compared here, including the single-unit Scotty and Sea models priced from $15.99 to $24.95 for just one holder each. That gap adds up fast once you need more than a couple of mounts.
Does the 4-Pack FAS-ROD-HOLDER-2 include mounting hardware?
The listed feature field shows NO, meaning no additional accessories or mounting hardware are bundled with the four holders. Buyers should plan to source any extra screws or brackets separately before starting the installation on a boat, dock, or garage wall.
Is the 4.2-star rating a red flag?
It is on the lower end of this comparison, matching the GADFISH holder but trailing the Sea 27-2P and Scotty models at 4.5 to 4.7 stars. With only 144 reviews, it is also a smaller sample, though the 300+ bought last month shows continued demand.
