C.E. Smith Aluminum Clamp-On Rod Holder - Vertical - 1.90" OD

The C.E. Smith Aluminum Clamp-On Rod Holder in vertical orientation with 1.90" outer diameter accommodates standard fishing rod butts and delivers marine-grade durability for extended saltwater and freshwater deployments. Constructed from 100% anodized aluminum, this rod holder resists corrosion in harsh offshore and coastal environments while maintaining functionality and finish over years of active use.

Built with a 3/8-inch thick blade and welded gimbal bar measuring 1/3 inch in height, the holder provides the structural rigidity needed to secure heavy rod loads during extended fishing operations or vessel movement. The 1-5/8-inch inside diameter accommodates standard rod handles, while the flared opening permits quick insertion and removal without fumbling. The clamp-on design integrates directly onto gunwales, transoms, or railings up to 2.5 inches in diameter, eliminating the need for permanent installation.

Ideal for anglers operating from recreational fishing vessels, guides managing multiple rod setups, and boating enthusiasts requiring flexible rod storage without drilling or welding. The vertical orientation positions rods perpendicular to the mounting surface, maximizing deck clearance and preventing entanglement. Aluminum construction offers corrosion resistance superior to steel in salt-spray environments while remaining lighter than stainless alternatives, making repositioning and adjustment practical during long fishing days or tournament preparation.

C.E. Smith rod holders are recognized across the recreational marine industry for engineering that balances durability with practicality. This vertical clamp-on model suits applications where permanent mounting is unsuitable or where equipment must transition between multiple vessels or mounting locations with minimal downtime.
