Tigress 9-Inch 30-Degree Screwless Steel Rod Holder

The Tigress Rod Holder is a 9 inch 30-degree screwless flush mount in 316 stainless, needing a 2-1/8 inch cutout and an installation wrench.

Thirty degrees is the wide-spread angle, laying rods out to the sides so several lines can be trolled without tangling behind the boat. That spread is what lets a cockpit fish four or six rods at once, and a transom usually ends up with holders set at more than one angle.

Three hundred and sixteen stainless is the marine grade, with molybdenum added to resist the pitting that 304 suffers where salt water stands in a tube. A rod holder holds water after every wash and every wave, so the grade matters more here than on a fitting that drains. Explore more rod holders.
