Increase your trolling spread and catch more fish with this polished stainless steel outrigger rod holder. Includes an integrally cast gimbal pin and white vinyl liner to protect rods. A heavy 48" nylon safety strap allows you to fight a fish without unlatching. For use in standard metal gunwale rod holders. Colors: Gold or Silver.
The order was delivered in just three days from the order date. The rod holders were used on a 20 ft. center console boat with an 8 ft. beam. They mounted easily and were at the correct angle from the gunwhale. I was using them in the ocean out of Stuart Florida. The wind was about 15 kts. with a 2 to 3 foot sea. I also had out a surface line between the two outboard rods. The lines tangled only once which is not unusual under the described sea conditions. I would recommend these rod holders for anyone who wants a relatively inexpensive alternative to outriggers.
I bought a pair of these rod holders for spanish mackerel trolling & have been completely satisfied with them. They are actually very pretty to look at too---I got the stainless steel ones which is polished to a mirror-like finish. The retainer strap which protects the rod from falling overboard when trolling makes them worry-free. Using 7 ft rods, I've experienced no line tangles, even making abrupt turns. They fitted perfectly into to the rod holders on my 29FS Regulator and make it easy to to remove & play the fish when you get a hook-up. It would be nice if every fishing product worked as well as these do.
