C.E. Smith Adjustable Mid Mount Rod Holder Aluminum 1.66" or 1-1/2" w/Sleeve & Hex Key

The C.E. Smith Adjustable Mid Mount Rod Holder Aluminum (1.66" or 1-1/2" with Sleeve & Hex Key) is a marine-grade aluminum fishing rod holder engineered for boats with standard rail systems. This adjustable mid-mount design positions rods at an optimal angle for both passive trolling and active rod access, making it essential hardware for anglers who demand reliability in saltwater and freshwater environments alike.

Construction from marine-grade aluminum with 100% anodized finish provides superior corrosion resistance in salt air and spray—a critical advantage for offshore and coastal fishing where standard metal degrades quickly. The adjustable design accommodates both 1.66-inch and 1-1/2-inch rail diameters, making this rod holder compatible with most modern boat rail systems without requiring different models. The included rubber sleeve protects rod blanks from contact stress and vibration, while the hex key enables tool-free adjustment and maintenance at the dock or underway.

Weekend anglers and serious offshore captains alike benefit from the mid-mount positioning, which keeps rods accessible for manual jigging while preventing entanglement with rigging and deck hardware. The anodized aluminum construction resists staining and maintains appearance across years of use, unlike bare or painted alternatives that require frequent touch-up. For boats needing multiple rod holders for organized tackle management—whether for bottom fishing, live-bait trolling, or tournament preparation—this model provides consistent positioning across a full rack.
