TACO 12' Black/Silver Center Rigger Pole - 1-1/8" Diameter

The TACO 12' Black/Silver Center Rigger Pole with 1-1/8" diameter is a professional-grade outrigger designed for serious offshore and blue water fishing operations. Built by TACO Marine, this center rigger pole delivers the structural integrity and reliability demanded by charter captains and tournament anglers who deploy multiple trolling lines in heavy seas. The 12-foot length provides the reach necessary to spread baits and lures far from the vessel's wake, a critical advantage when targeting pelagic species that respond to natural spacing and line separation.

The 1-1/8" diameter pole diameter offers a balance of weight and rigidity—substantial enough to handle the torsional forces from multiple lines under load, yet light enough at 5.9 lbs to minimize fatigue during extended deployment and retrieval cycles. The black powder-coat finish with silver accents resists corrosion in saltwater environments while maintaining visibility for safety and operational awareness. This center rigger pole is engineered to work seamlessly with TACO Marine's established outrigger systems and bases, including models like the Grand Slam 170 and Striker Base, ensuring compatibility with existing tackle installations.

Center rigger poles are favored by crews running spreads of six or more lines, where traditional outriggers alone cannot accommodate the full count. By positioning a rigger pole at centerline—typically mounted to the hardtop or cabin—anglers gain a fourth or fifth line position without adding another full outrigger arm, maximizing deck space efficiency. Whether fishing for marlin, tuna, wahoo, or king mackerel, this TACO pole integrates into professional-level tackle configurations where reliability and durability directly impact catch success and operational uptime.
