Mate Series Stainless Steel 30° Rod & Cup Holder - Drain - Oval Top

The Mate Series Stainless Steel 30° Rod & Cup Holder with Drain and Oval Top is purpose-built for anglers and boaters who demand reliability in saltwater and freshwater environments. This dual-function holder secures fishing rods at an optimal 30-degree angle while simultaneously providing a beverage cup holder, eliminating the need for separate mounting solutions on deck or gunwale. Whether you're running a center console, sport fisher, or day cruiser, this holder addresses a universal need: keeping rods accessible and drinks within arm's reach during long hours on the water.

Constructed from 316-grade stainless steel, this rod holder resists corrosion and salt spray far better than standard 304 stainless, making it ideal for offshore and coastal applications. The 30-degree angle positions rods at a natural fishing posture, reducing fatigue during extended use and improving strike response. The integral 3/8" NPT drain fitting prevents water pooling and extends equipment longevity—a critical feature for systems exposed to rain, wave spray, and wash-down maintenance. The oval-shaped top conforms naturally to rod blanks and cup shapes alike, reducing stress concentrations and minimizing finish damage.

Benefit most from this holder when outfitting center consoles, walk-around cabins, or hardtop installations where deck real estate is premium and multi-use fittings reduce clutter. The compact 7 x 6-inch footprint fits standard rod and cup diameters without modification. Installation requires a through-deck or bulkhead mount using the 3/8" NPT base, making it compatible with existing plumbing infrastructure on most vessels. Stainless construction ensures this holder will outlast multiple generations of rods and reels, delivering reliable performance for decades of waterside duty.
