QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Have a Question?

Ask a Question
  • What type of reels will this hold? In the pic I see a baitcaster but will it also hold a spinning reel?

    This holder can support both spinning reels and baitcasters. The holder has multiple cutouts and indents for various spinning reel positioning, but can also support baitcasters as shown in that photo.

Reading part numbers

The letter after RAM tells you the ball size: RAM-B-166 uses a 1" B ball, while RAM-D-201 uses a 2.25" D ball. C size parts are the exception and carry no letter, so RAM-201U is a C size arm.
