C.E. Smith 536810C - Flush Mount Rod Holder - 15 Degree - Cast - 10.5" Deep

The C.E. Smith 536810C flush mount rod holder is purpose-built for anglers and boaters who demand a clean, integrated solution for securing their fishing rods along the gunwale or cabin structure. Whether you're trolling for stripers, jigging for walleye, or simply need a reliable rod storage system on deck, this cast aluminum holder keeps your tackle organized and ready without the clutter of surface-mounted brackets. The 15-degree angle positions rods at an optimal viewing and retrieval angle, making it ideal for both active fishing and parked-boat storage.

Engineered from durable cast aluminum, the C.E. Smith 536810C features a beautifully rounded bottom end that delivers both function and finished aesthetics—critical when the holder is visible from above deck. The 10.5-inch depth accommodates standard and medium-heavy rods, while the 1/2-inch pipe-threaded drain hole prevents water pooling and corrosion buildup inside the tube, extending service life in saltwater and freshwater environments alike. The flush-mount design requires routing through the hull or gunwale, eliminating protrusions and reducing snag hazards when moving along the deck or handling gear.

This holder suits commercial fishing operations, charter boats, and serious recreational anglers who value a clean deck profile and long-term reliability. Installation requires moderate carpentry and silicone sealing to ensure watertight integrity; many boatbuilders and experienced DIY installers prefer the 80C series for its polished appearance on visible surfaces. Compatible with standard rod diameters up to approximately 1.5 inches, the C.E. Smith 536810C integrates seamlessly into new builds or retrofit projects where deck space and visual appeal matter.
