TACO 18' Deluxe Outrigger Poles w/Rollers - Silver/Silver

The TACO 18' Deluxe Outrigger Poles with Rollers in Silver/Silver are engineered for offshore trolling operations where reaching larger game fish demands extended strike zones and superior bait presentation. These poles telescope from over 18 feet down below eight feet for trailering, storage, and bridge clearance—a critical feature for boats moving between inshore and offshore waters. The thicker wall construction throughout the poles provides enhanced durability against the stresses of constant rigging, retrieval cycles, and saltwater exposure that characterize serious offshore fishing.

The patent-pending 360-degree swivel rollers represent a functional upgrade over standard outrigger hardware. These rollers reduce halyard friction as lines slip through during strikes, enabling cleaner bait movement and more natural presentation in the water column. The full 18-foot extension significantly increases the effective working area around the vessel, allowing multiple trolling lines to spread wider and deeper without tangling—a practical advantage when running spread patterns for tuna, wahoo, marlin, or other pelagic species. The silver finish on both the poles and rollers coordinates with most modern boat hardware while resisting corrosion in saltwater conditions.

These outrigger poles suit both weekend offshore fishermen and charter or commercial operations running extended trolling campaigns. Weekend anglers benefit from the collapsed length for easier storage and trailering, while professional operators rely on the robust construction and performance-oriented roller design for daily deployment. The telescoping design also serves inland or coastal fishermen who need outrigger reach without the weight penalty of fixed-length alternatives.

TACO Marine has established a strong reputation in the marine hardware space, and the Deluxe Outrigger series reflects that focus on practical engineering. These poles integrate with standard outrigger bases and rigging systems found on most sportfishing vessels, making them a straightforward upgrade path for existing equipment.
