What This Kit Includes
The RAM Tube Jr. Rod Holder with Adapt-A-Post Track Base is a complete kit for track-mounted rod holding. It pairs the RAM Tube Jr. rod holder with a RAM Adapt-A-Post track base on a 4" post, and is listed under RAM Mounts fishing rod holders.
Two versions are available: the standard track base kit (SKU: RAP-390-SAAPU) and the universal track base kit that works with multiple post and spline systems. Both include the Tube Jr. holder and a 4" post.
Installation Steps
Follow these steps to mount your rod holder on a compatible track system.
- 1. Position the track base: Slide the RAM Adapt-A-Post track base into your boat or kayak track. The base is designed for track mounting and fits RAM Tough-Track as well as most third-party track systems.
- 2. Secure the base: Lift the locking lever on the base to loosen it, then slide the base to your desired position along the track. Lower the lever to lock the base in place. The locking lever prevents the base from spinning loose with rod holder movement.
- 3. Attach the rod holder: Insert the RAM Tube Jr. rod holder onto the 4" post. For the universal version, press the quick-release button to safely engage or disengage the rod holder. The button keeps the holder secure while fishing.
- 4. Adjust the angle: The RAM Tube Jr. supports right and left handed handling. You can rotate the rod holder to your preferred angle before tightening. For fine adjustments, lift the lever on the base to reposition the entire assembly without loosening the rod holder.

Choosing Between the Two Versions
The standard track base kit (RAP-390-SAAPU) is a straightforward choice if you only need RAM-compatible track mounting. The universal track base kit adds compatibility with Scotty, Fish-On, Railblaza, Cannon, Brocraft, Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops systems, plus a quick-release button for easy removal. Both kits include the same Tube Jr. rod holder and 4" post.
If your boat or kayak has a third-party track or you plan to swap accessories between different brands, the universal version gives you more flexibility. For a dedicated RAM track setup, the standard kit works well and costs less.
What the Supplied Information Does Not Cover
The catalog does not specify exact torque values for tightening, recommended rod lengths, or maximum fish weight capacity. These details depend on your specific boat, track, and fishing conditions. Always test the holder with your rod before heading out.
