Swaged Rod 1.125in. x 28in. 5/8in. Thread

The M AND W ALUMINUM PRODUCTS Swaged Rod 1.125in. x 28in. with 5/8in. Thread is a purpose-built marine component designed for anglers and boaters who demand reliable structural support in deck-mounted systems. This aluminum rod is ideal for building custom rod holder arrays, securing antenna masts, or fabricating stabilizer frames, providing the precision fit that professional rigging requires.

Constructed from durable aluminum, this swaged rod features a 1.25-inch outer diameter and a 5/8-inch threaded end that accepts standard marine fasteners and adapters without modification. The swaging process—cold-forging the aluminum under high pressure—creates a seamless transition from rod body to thread, eliminating weak points where galvanic corrosion typically initiates in saltwater environments. At 28 inches in length and weighing just 1.32 pounds, it provides excellent strength-to-weight ratios critical for elevated mounting applications.

This swaged rod works best for builders outfitting center consoles, cabin cruisers, and offshore sportfishing platforms where structural integrity cannot be compromised. Its compact design suits confined deck spaces and modular rigging layouts, making it a versatile choice for various marine applications.
