C.E. Smith Aluminum Outrigger Rod Holder with Liner

The C.E. Smith Outrigger Rod Holder is aluminum, supplied with a liner and a strap.

An outrigger rod holder sits at an angle rather than vertical, holding a rod out from the boat so lines run wide and do not tangle behind the transom. That is the whole purpose of outriggers, and the holder is what sets the angle the rod actually fishes at.

The liner is the part that protects the rod. Aluminum against a reel foot or a rod butt marks it quickly, and a liner takes that contact instead. A strap secures the rod against the pull of a trolled bait and the motion of a boat, since a rod lifted out at speed is gone. Explore more outriggers and rigging.
