74 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
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
A single rod propped against a cooler while you dig for bait is exactly the scenario a basic holder like this one solves. Priced at $19.99, this unbranded Fishing Rod Holder is built from ABS plastic, finished in black, and sold as a single piece.
Against the field, it sits in the middle of the price range, cheaper than the Seenelling 2-pack's per-unit cost but more expensive than the Sea 27-2P's $15.99. Its ABS build places it alongside the Scotty 0280-BK's plastic construction rather than the metal used by the Seenelling or synthetic material in the Scotty 230-BK.
What makes this listing notable is the review pattern. A 4.6 star average matches the Sea 27-2P exactly and comes within a tenth of a point of both Scotty models, yet it's built on just 74 reviews, a fraction of the 700 to 1,500-review samples the Scotty products carry. The 100+ bought last month figure is modest next to the Scotty 230-BK's 400+, but it shows steady, ongoing demand for a simple, no-frills holder.
Pros
- 4.6 star average matches the Sea 27-2P and comes close to both Scotty models
- $19.99 price sits below the Scotty 230-BK's $24.95
- ABS plastic construction keeps it lightweight for easy repositioning
- 100+ bought last month shows consistent ongoing demand
- Single-piece format suits buyers who only need one holder
Cons
- 74 reviews is far thinner than the 700 to 1,500-review samples backing the Scotty holders
- No brand name listed, which can make warranty or support harder to track down
- Costs more than the Sea 27-2P at $15.99 despite a similar star rating
- Bought last month figure of 100+ trails the Scotty 230-BK's 400+ and Scotty 0280-BK's 200+

Performance notes
ABS plastic is a common, durable choice for rod holders because it resists cracking better than cheaper plastics while staying lighter than metal builds like the Seenelling's stainless steel. Sold as a single unit at $19.99, it's priced to compete directly with the Scotty 0280-BK's $18.95, though that Scotty model carries a far larger review history. Because the listing doesn't specify a weight capacity or rod diameter range, buyers with heavier surf or saltwater rods should weigh that against the more established Scotty options before committing.
What buyers say
A 4.6 star average is a strong signal on its own, tying the Sea 27-2P and sitting just below the 4.7 stars posted by both Scotty holders. The catch is sample size: 74 reviews is a small fraction of the 702 to 1,500 reviews backing those Scotty products, so the rating carries more uncertainty. The 100+ bought last month figure suggests a steady trickle of buyers rather than the surge seen with the Scotty 230-BK's 400+, painting the picture of a newer, smaller-footprint product that's satisfying the customers it does reach.

Frequently asked questions
Is a 4.6 star rating reliable with only 74 reviews?
It's a positive signal, but a smaller sample than the 700 to 1,500 reviews behind the Scotty holders means there's more room for the average to shift as more buyers weigh in. Treat it as promising rather than fully proven.
How does the price compare to similar rod holders?
At $19.99, it costs more than the Sea 27-2P's $15.99 but less than the Scotty 230-BK's $24.95. It's closest in price to the Scotty 0280-BK at $18.95, which has a much larger review history.
What is it made of?
The listing specifies ABS plastic construction in a black finish, sold as a single piece. That puts its material category in line with the Scotty 0280-BK, which also uses plastic.
