Questions about Scotty #455 Bait Board, No Mount

will this work with a scotty adjustable rod holder extender # 459 ?

Answer: I don't know what the 459 looks like, but it should. It works with the 429 http://www.amazon.com/Scotty-Gear-Head-Mount-Extender/dp/B003L4YSAU/ref=pd_sim_sg_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1Y1B0EARDMXY6X5Z1G1C

Answer: No

Answer: Yes

Answer: yes

Will this work on a Sundolphin 10

How do you mount a fishfinder the way it is shown in pic. I have the fishfinder mount, but how does that go on the board as pictured?

Answer: Scotty sells a mount that mates with both the bait board and the fish finder. http://m.tackledirect.com/scotty-455-bait-boards.html?mainc=SCO-0177&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvZy8zeKn1QIVyIZ-Ch0wjQrIEAQYAiABEgLwbPD_BwE

Will this work with a ram mount gear head track adapter

Answer: Not sure . Mine sets in a Scotty quick disconnect and slides in a gear track .

Answer: Don't know have only sctties.

what is the catalog #from the bait board to the scotty post bracket #272 thanks

Answer: If you are asking if there is another part you will need between the bait board and a Scotty bracket, the answer is no. There is a post below the board that goes into the bracket's socket. A handy accessory would be the Scotty Gear Head Mount Extender so you can position the board exactly where you want it.

Answer: I do not understand your question. Maybe you can rephrase your question for me to answer it.

Does it include the post that goes in the mount? Will it fit a Cannon mount?

Answer: It came with a post that fit a Scotty existing mount I had already for a rod holder. Do not know about a Cannon mount.

Is the bait board tray magnetic ?

Answer: No, the board tray is NOT magnetic.

Answer: No, poly plastic like a cutting board.

Answer: No it not . Very sturdy . I like mine a lot . Used it for stripers at home and used it in the bay in Cal . On my kayak with a q d in my track system . You could absolutely glue on underneath. In fact I think I’ll do that . Thanks for the idea .

Answer: no Fits into a rod type holder

Answer: no it is not

Answer: No

Answer: No not at all.

Answer: No it is not

So exactly what type of mount will I need to put the extender arm into and mount to my kayak? Is the board magnetized for holding metal pliers etc?

Answer: You need a Scotty extension arm (unless you want it mounted right up against the surface) and a Scotty Mount on the kayak, flush or raised mount will both work. Flush mount is a cleaner look if you have a place for it.

Answer: You use the regular Scotty rod mount which can be found on Amazon. You would through mount it on your kayak if possible. The board is not magnetized. If you search on Amazon for "Scotty", you should be able to find different mounting options. Hope this helps.

Answer: The standard Scotty mount for the rod holders is required to mount the extender arm to your kayak. No magnets.

Answer: Oh, and no, it's not magnetized.

Can anyone tell me who makes the dashboard / console that this Scotty Mount Extender is inserted into? Reference Scotty Bait Board pic here on Amazon

Answer: Hey Mark, Scotty make the support bracket. It articulates in the middle and has a standard Scotty rod holder male mount on the bottom end so it is mounted onto the boat via a Scotty rod holder mount block. Cheers, John

Will this mount to bro craft mounts?

Answer: I'm not familiar with "bro craft. I use my Scotty Bait Board every time out and recommend it highly. The Scotty mount (#241) is only $6-$8 and would buy to make sure. I also have an 8 inch Scotty extension between the mount and board, and this works out just right. The bait board is good for cutting bait, but becomes a very useful prep station for everything else I use when fishing off of my boat.

What is the width and length ?

Answer: Check product details.

Will this bait board fit directly into a Scotty rod holder mount, or would I need to buy something else to attach to it in order to use it?

Answer: Not the rod holder piece itself, but the mounted pivot bracket that connects it to the canoe. Additional arm/pivot pieces can be added to extend the length also. Sold sperate

Answer: Yes! It will fit directly into the scotty rod holder mount :-)

Answer: Yes it fits into all Scotty mounts. You only have 3" height from the bait board. Works great with an optional extender arm. Gives you more adjustability than the stationary fixed mount.

Answer: It fits but get a 4 inch extension so your knives blades have room to clear what you are mounted too! very handy know where your pliers,knives, and other tools for fishing are instead of looking for them when you need them fast!

Answer: This will fit. The parts needed are included with the board. Very useful item!

Answer: It will mount into the rod holder mount but will not have a lot of clarence

Answer: Only onto the base; not the adjustable piece of the rod holder

Will this fit a fish-on Scotty Mount or does it only fit the newer Scotty mounts?

Answer: My boat is a 2007 model and the bait board fits it fine.

Answer: I think they are all the same . But not sure .

Answer: Sorry old / new not sure

The kayak I'm looking to buy has attachment rails. Would this work on that?

How many sections are there from the top of the Scotty bait board to the Fish finder. Any & all catalogs # would be greatly appreciated.

If i want everything in the picture shown whats need thats extra?

Answer: Only the board is included. All other items, cup holder, fish finder mount, camera mount, and the Scotty mount that the board clips into are all extras.

Is this big enough to clean trout?

Answer: I never tried cleaning fish on it. I guess its possible although a legal sea trout would be longer than the width of the board. I use it to keep various artificials on it to grab quickly. Also my pliers and snips. I also mount my camera on it.

Answer: It should be fine for cleaning trout .

Answer: Yes, as long as the trout aren't overly large

Answer: Really don't know. Use it for a bait board saltwater fishing. Cut up 8 inch bunker into chunks and other smaller baits. Very good for that application

Answer: 12" n under

What other accessories would I need to fit this on my kayak track?

Answer: Adapter for the mount or track has to be scotty

Does this work on the 438 track?

Answer: I would think it would work on the 438 track "adapter". I'm not sure what a 438 track is. Why don't you ask Scotty?

Answer: I use mine in a quick disconnect mount on a plastic gear track . Not sure what a 438 track is .

Answer: The Scotty Bait board fit only in a Scotty rod holder mount. I purchased an adjustable extension so the bait holder stands higher and on the side of the boat. this helps keep the boat clean when using messy baits.

Can this bait board be connected to a railblaza system or mount--for versitrack? need for a scotty-->railblaza adapter?

Answer: It won't work with a railblaza system, which I have on my Crestliner. Only the Scotty mount. The alignment grooves don't match.

Can you attach a rod holder?

Answer: Yes, as long as you can screw the base for the rod holder to the perimeter of the bait board. There are multiple holes that can be used and I believe you could also drill holes as needed.

Answer: Don't think so . Don't think it would be a good idea . I think it would break with the pressure of a fish .

Answer: NO ,I wouldn't. I don't think it would hold , not with anything of size

Answer: yes, the scotty one

Does the board come with backing plate?

Answer: Not sure what you mean by a backing plate? Board can only be attached by using a Scotty mount. I am using the rail mount. Board can be mounted horizontally for use and then stored vertically for storage.

Answer: The board came with the standard Scotty male adapter for mounting onto a standard Scotty rod holder mount.

Answer: not sure what you are asking, can you be more specific?

Answer: no need for one

How do u mount the post mount on to the bait board??

Answer: there is mounting holes under the board.

Answer: There are two locations where you can mount the post. I have an extended post where I mount my go pro.

Answer: Yes, the board has a fitting on the underside which accepts the end of the mounting post.

Answer: you need to buy the scotty mount, and the bait tray simply mounts right to it

Answer: 4 bolt and nuts,

Which female tail mount do I need for the cutting board?

Answer: Mine fit in a flush mount or the deck mount but the extended gear head helped me level it and move around. I personally ended up returning it because it got in the way of paddling, and I found it unnecessary, but it was well built and sturdy.

Answer: I already have a Scotty rod holder mount attached to my boat and it just popped in easily.

Answer: I use the Scotty 438 gear head rail adapter.

Answer: Same base as for the rod holder

Answer: Scotty

want comes with it come with/how much are the acccesories

Will this fit into the Attwood rod holder mount ?

Answer: I doubt it. I'm not sue what the Atwood rod holder looks like but if its a normal rod holder, then the answer is no.

Answer: No Scotty don't fit attwood

Answer: I do not think so

can this be mounted on an Ocean Kayak Tetra Angler 10, and if so how?

Will it mount to a ram mount ball?

Answer: Not unless you have some sort of Scotty-to-Ram adaptater.

Answer: It will work if it's the ball with the T-Bolt Attachment

Answer: Not directly. You would need to replace the Scotty mount it comes with or use an adapter.

Does the stem come on the bottom

Answer: Yes

Is there any way to mount a phone holder on it like a yakattack x-grip

Answer: Yes you can mount it around the edges, although slight modification may need to be made by drilling the hole to a bigger diameter. I let my phone sit lying down on the table with a string as a tether.

Answer: Without having one on hand I can't say for sure, but the square cutouts on the back lip appear to be able to accommodate the x-grp

Answer: Maybe ? You can get creative .

Answer: The scotty cup holder come with the piece that it slides in to . And not sure about the go pro . Haven't got one yet .

Answer: There are two: The 135 screw on camera mount and one for the post mount. They are listed on Amazon and there is another on the Scotty page of mount accessories. http://scotty.com/rod-holders-and-mounts/rod-mounts/

Looking at the picture & the different holes on the bait board.. how do i attach the fishfinder post bracket? do i use scotty gear head track adapter?

Answer: Just thought I would tell you I have a s Scotty cup holder on mine . And the board goes into a QD post adapter . Get it !

Answer: I'm not sure it would be a good place to mount one . Might just drill and mount on the flat part of board . That would probably be a better idea . There is 5 slotted holes on the left and right side .

Answer: Just to add to my reply , this is a great bait board for the money !!

Is it put on specialy? Can it go on any kayak?

Answer: No. You just need to find a Scotty mount that you want to install on your kayak. There are flush mounts and mounts that bolt directly to the top of your kayak.

Answer: My kayak has a flat spot to attach the Scotty base

Answer: You would need a mount for the board to sit in. You can use any of the mounts that are listed as accessories under the board.

Product reviews of Scotty #455 Bait Board, No Mount

Amazon Customer : Good Addition to my kayak

I really like this Bait board. I've mounted my camera on it to take pictures of the fish I catch. I've also attached my line snips and pliers on retractible chords for easy use. It keeps lures and such out of the bottom of my Kayak and within easy reach.

james erwin : This bait table is awesome! Love having it on board

This bait table is awesome! Love having it on board. It fits into the existing Scotty mount and it comes off easily when we need to move it. Only issue we had is there is no way for the water to drain off it. My husband drilled a few holes into the back of the table part so that the water would drain off when we sprayed it clean. Other than that it has places to hold ur bait knife and a little lip so nothing falls off

La Luna : Solid Quality (see attached pictures)

I was skeptical at first especially wasn't able see how the bottom looks like. But I gave it a shot and order it anyway. Received it tonight and found it very well made. Well worth the price. Took some picture of the bottom and uploaded it. I was trying to avoid buying the extension arm/pole so I order this plate and the $6 lockable mount. I originally planned on mounting it on a board at 45 angle so I can put my table on the plate but screw it, I'm ordering the arm after seeing how well it is made. It's a bloody $24 for the arm but I'm sure I'll be happy with it.

Raymond McVey : Scotty Bait Board

just what I needed. Have setups to mount bait board in many places on my fishing boat.

Fishin' Fool : Works great!

I use this bait board on both my kayaks and it works great. It's really nice to have a flat surface that is raised off the floor or sides of the kayaks. The bait board has slots for lures, jigs, and so much more.

Kevin : I attached this to my kayak because I cut my ...

I attached this to my kayak because I cut my tray off my kayak to make room for me to fit in it. I installed a drybox to my tray with small rope and can dangle it off the front if I need to use the full tray. I used the following products to attach this to my kayak...

Scotty #241-BK Side Deck Mounting Bracket (mounted just in front of the portal on my kayak)

Scotty #429 Extended Gear Head Adapter (fits into mounting bracket above)

Scotty Bait tray attaches directly to extension adapter.

Everyone compliments the way my kayak is set up and I owe much of that to this set up. Don't miss out on this because of doubt.

David Jackson : Convenient

Great for cutting bait holding lures, lines etc

DavidR : Five Stars

Steve : Great cutting tray

Great add to the fishing kayak. Quick to install, easy to clean used with live bait and liver for the the catfish hunt.

Raghnar : Using 429 extender with Bait Board and trying to fit ...

Using 429 extender with Bait Board and trying to fit on Tracker 170. The teeth on two pieces do not line up to allow bait board to be level.

Matt A. : Add a table for one!

This is a great addition to your boat. Never do I have enough flat surfaces but with this you can put a table anywhere you have a compatible rod holder. An extra rod mount with arm makes for a nice picnic table my wife really enjoys having!

Jai : Good product

Well constructed using quality material, not flimsy. Gave 4 stars because in order to set it up to some level of usability, other accessories are needed, cost will add up.

B Y : Solid

Solid

Steve P. : One of the best cheap mods for your boat

I love the bait board for sturgeon and striper fishing. it is easy. Good place to hang your pliers and sticky thread. Easy to pull off and clean at the end of the day. Great space saver

The wolf : The rim

Should have larger rim around plate and doesn’t hold lire to well.

jim strong : Five Stars

COOL

The wolf : The rim

Should have larger rim around plate and doesn’t hold lire to well.

Michael Hennessee : It's nice to leave the cutting board at home

I use this on a sea eagle inflatable raft. This has made using it so much easier. Having accessories makes life 10x easier.

The bait board is durable as can be. It's nice to leave the cutting board at home. I also mount my fish finder on top.

Tigger10 : It’s actually bigger than it looks

Had to return too big for me

stephen letavec : Five Stars

just what I needed to keep small fishing box close while kayak fishing

The wolf : The rim

Should have larger rim around plate and doesn’t hold lire to well.

Charles : Perfect

Was not expecting this to be as well made as it is. This bait board is heavy plastic well made and just the right size for a kayak.

Michael Hennessee : It's nice to leave the cutting board at home

Kurt B & Hysteria Jeep : A surface to bait you hooks and stuff!!

This is my second one. My first one is now a coffee table for the fishes at the bottom of the lake (I HAVE LEARNED TO TIE SMALL TWINE FROM THE BOARD TO THE KAYAK )..But this is great to help out. There's not really anywhere on my kayak to work..The baitboard gives me some flat surface to do my hook baiting. Or whatever...Its a must have...

nicholas chetta jr : Five Stars

Should have bought one of these sooner

Michael Hennessee : It's nice to leave the cutting board at home

Jason Marble : Well made, good idea, price a bit high

It's cool, but it should be 10 bucks. Scotty is overpriced anyway but I think it will be a cool little addition to my Yak

Amazon Customer : Good Addition to my kayak

Bubba ladd : It's smaller than expected

Cheap made

Carroll C. Taylor III : The board worked great except that they lures kept falling off and end ...

The board worked great except that they lures kept falling off and end of the kayak but to work on it was great

Ken : A good deal.

Came early. Exactly what I expected. another great product.

Snaderly : Top quality!

I really, really like these bait boards for my fishing kayak. It keeps my lures and tools at just the right height and accessibility.

walter clark : Five Stars

Excellent product. Works well on my whaler. Easy installation and removal on side rail. Perfect size for smaller boat.

Erik gutierrez : Exactly what i needed

Great for kayak fishing

scjhawkfan : Serves the purpose.

Fits in the clamp on mounts good. When cutting bait the surface gets cut also. Thought the surface would be like a cutting board surface. It's softer. The slots on the outside are small. Overall serves the purpose, cutting bait.

Owen Titus : Good product.

It works great in my 18’ G3 for a bait prep/accessories tray. Being easily removable when not needed is a great thing.

Crystal : Perfect

Use it in my kayak it's perfect

Tigger10 : It’s actually bigger than it looks

Had to return too big for me

Amazon Customer : Quality

Much better quality than I was anticipating.

Mike B. : Awesome attachment! This with the gear head mount extender ...

Awesome attachment! This with the gear head mount extender on my fishing kayak are perfect combo for fishing and cruising. Would buy again for sure. Quick shipping as well.

Jacolby fite : A handy table while on the water

It feels like durable material I like that it has holes around the edge to hang some lures made it easy access to a few select baits

L. Grant : Great little board

I use this on my pontoon. It's kind of small but is great for cutting bait up on and was a lot better than using the top of the cooler!

Garan Asa Bates : Awesome

I love the idea but haven't used yet.going this weekend so I'll update later.love the speed lock on it fast change out if needed

Rick S. : great idea for a kayak

I bought this for a my buddy to use on his kayak for Christmas, he doesn't have allot of free space and having the fish finder mounted to it is a great idea.

Garan Asa Bates : Awesome

I love the idea but haven't used yet.going this weekend so I'll update later.love the speed lock on it fast change out if needed

Jim Heil : Five Stars

All Scotty products are great

Goobs : ????????
