Adjustable Rod Holder Center Rigger* Mount

(We utilize TACO Metals SKU# T10-3000-6 (Adjustable Rod Holder Mount for ShadeFin™) with a few added parts for great compatibility with our center rigger poles with standard 1-1/8″ diameter butts)

This is an excellent center rigger* mount option for those boats with poor access to top-flush-mount options or boats with a rod holder already fitted in the centerline of the top or upper station’s backrest. Also, one simply may not wish to weld-on or drill and bolt-on their center rigger mount.

*Note, this product is sold by Taco as a mount option for their ShadeFin™, which we also sell, and can greatly add to this mount’s versatility to complement its ease of use and removal from the boat instead of permanently mounting hardware to carry non-permanent items, whose use might continually vary (e.g.: sandbar or cruising day where you want maximum shade vs fishing a full spread of baits in a tournament). We add a plastic screw and hand nut to engage the center rigger pole in this mount rather than a stainless button spring, which is prone to malfunction and corrosion, and we add an acrylic washer to isolate powder coated or Line-X’ed rod holders’ bottom edges from the hand nut that installs onto the bottom of this assembly.

This mount locks firmly into a tulip rod holder and its gimbal to eliminate slop that would ordinarily exist between a rod-holder mounted center rigger pole and rod holder, slop which can lead to weld damage or failure when subjected to longer leverage and/or force put on by modern carbon fiber center riggers’ lengths and strength.
