C.E. Smith Aluminum Vertical Rod Holder - 1.90-inch OD

The C.E. Smith Aluminum Vertical Rod Holder - 1.90-inch OD is the larger of the vertical clamp-on sizes, for heavier upright tubing. It uses the same polished, fully anodized marine grade aluminum as the rest of the range, with a 3/8 inch thick blade, a welded gimbal bar 1/3 inch tall and a 1-5/8 inch bore with a flared opening for easier rod insertion. This model is best selected around the boat's existing mounting surface and the rod setup it needs to support.

The tapered liner protects the rod finish, a rod security hole through the blade secures the rod, and the clamp is precision machined for a slip-resistant fit on marine aluminum tubing. Before installation, compare the listed tube, rail, or mounting dimensions with the boat hardware where the holder will be used. Rod angle and holder orientation affect both access and clearance, especially when several rods are rigged along the same rail or gunwale.

Marine construction is important in this location because the holder is routinely exposed to spray, vibration, and wet fishing gear. A properly matched mount keeps the rod positioned consistently without forcing an improvised clamp or oversized adapter at the installation point. Browse more rod holders.
