C.E. Smith Flush Mount 30° Nylon Rod Holder - Black

The C.E. Smith Flush Mount 30° Nylon Rod Holder in black is a lightweight, corrosion-free solution for adding rod storage to boats without the weight penalty or maintenance demands of metal alternatives. Molded from UV-resistant nylon in a single piece, this 30-degree angled rod holder accommodates standard fishing rods while resisting saltwater corrosion, oxidation, and environmental degradation that deteriorates steel or aluminum holders over time on the water.

The holder features a 10-inch tube with a 4-inch by 3.5-inch cap, designed for light-duty fishing applications and installed via a 2-1/16-inch mounting hole using 3/16-inch fasteners (not included). The 30-degree angle positions rods at an ergonomic and secure angle for both trolling and rod-in-holder storage, while the nylon construction keeps total weight minimal—critical when outfitting boats where every pound affects fuel economy and performance. The flush-mount design integrates seamlessly into gunwale rails, console corners, or bracket systems without protruding awkwardly.

This holder suits weekend anglers and light-duty fishermen who want economical rod storage without corrosion concerns, as well as boaters maintaining saltwater vessels where stainless steel and aluminum require constant rinsing and can still pit or corrode. The UV-resistant nylon maintains rigidity and color in full sun exposure, common on open center consoles and offshore platforms. C.E. Smith rod holders are recognized tackle-mount solutions across the boating industry, offering proven reliability for casual and regular recreational fishing use. Installation requires basic drilling and fastening—standard boat modification skills.
