Specs:
This hefty stainless steel holder will keep your rod steady whether you're doing some serious trolling or enjoying a recreational day on the water. Part of CE Smith's 70 Series line of 9" long rod holders, this model features an open bottom that lets water drain and a tough, extra-tall gimbal bar that keeps your rod from spinning. The 15-degree angle of the holder helps you create a narrower trolling spread by positioning your rod tip closer to the boat. This type of holder also takes up less room under the gunwale than a rod holder that has a 20- or 30-degree angle.
The 1/4" wide x 1/2" tall gimbal bar can withstand the harsh conditions that heavy tackle or downrigger mounts can unleash - unlike standard gimbal pins that can get bent or knocked out of place. It's built into the holder and reinforced with welds, making it a virtually indestructible anchor that keeps your rod from spinning inside holder. This tough gimbal bar also helps boost the overall strength and rigidity of the rod holder. And, the holder's open bottom lets water drain.
A protective, UV-resistant vinyl liner keeps your rod free of scratches and scuffs. The liner is notched to fit around the gimbal bar so that it stays in place and won't twist or spin.
Sturdy, Rustproof Stainless Steel Construction
This heavy-duty, 1.2-mm-thick rod holder is made with 316L stainless steel, which is highly resistant to corrosion and rust, even when exposed to saltwater. The exterior is polished to create a mirror-like shine that makes an attractive addition to any boat.
The 4-1/2" long x 3-5/8" wide flange is welded to the tube to create a strong connection, and it has a sleek, low-profile design that allows it to sit flush against the gunwale so it won't snag your line. For added strength, use a backing plate (CE53673A - sold separately) with this rod holder to reinforce the mounting area.
Installation requires that a 2" diameter hole be cut into your boat's gunwale to fit the holder. The holder will drop into this hole and then secure flush to your boat with (3) 1/4" bolts or screws (not included).

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this heavy-duty, stainless steel, 15 degree flush mount fishing rod holder with the open bottom. Now, this is a heavy-duty, 15 degree flush-mounted rod holder designed to hold up to one 80 pound class fishing pole. This will let you fish hands free and have multiple lines in the water. The holder does mount into your boat's gunwale. Now, it does require a two inch diameter hole to be cut into the gunwale for this to fit into.
And it does attach, if you look at the top mounting flange here, it will attach with three 1/4 inch size bolts or screws. Now, the hardware to install this is not included, you would have to supply that. And we do mentioned, when you do install this, it will be at a 15 degree angle, and this helps narrow your trolling spread, and it'll require less space under the gunwale. This is a heavy-duty 316L stainless steel construction, it is rustproof and corrosion resistant. The mounting flange up at the top here has a nice polished mirror finish to it, so it does look good when it's installed on your boat.
It is a wide, low-profile flange, and that flange is welded to the tube for durability. The dimensions on the flange itself, lengthwise, you can see is about 4 1/2 inches, widthwise is about 3 5/8 inches. Now, at the very bottom, you can see this bar here, this is a tall, built-in gimbal bar, and this will help keep your rod from spinning when it's inserted into it. Also, they do use a vinyl liner on the inside, this will protect your rod from any scratches or scuffs. Few specs on this, the length on the short side, it's gonna be about eight inches, the long side's about nine inches.
The tube inner diameter is right at 1 5/8 inches, and we had mentioned the tube outer diameter is two inches. But that should do it for the review on this heavy-duty, stainless steel, 15 degree flush mount fishing rod holder with the open bottom..

Large mounting flange provides strength. Rustproof stainless steel construction.Rod holder is heavy duty just what I need. Shipping was quick to get here.
Bought 2 of the 15 deg rod holders, haven’t installed yet but the quality seems to be very high. Will probably buy a couple the 30 deg as well. Also would like to say this is my first purchase from trailer, they came up in a google search, and wow they were the lowest price for these particular rod holders, also shipping was fast and free.
Thanks etrailer!!!!
I ordered 9 CE Smith rod holders from etrailer. 5 15 degree units for the transom wall, 2 0 degree units and 2 30 degree units for the side gunwale walls. If you are a saltwater fisherman, you know that the CE Smith rod holders are "the good stuff". But most places wanted $80 per rod holder! Keep in mind that a reasonable quality rod holder like amarine-made and other similar Chinese no name brands can be bought from other online retailers for $17 per unit. etrailer had the CE Smith version on sale at around fifth dollars per unit with no tax and free shipping. This is far from cheap but by going with etrailer I saved $180 and that was enough to push me toward the higher quality gear. After all, the rod holder bling is one of the first things that someone will see when they board a sportfishing yacht.
etrailer handled my order with good communication and follow up not only by email but by phone call as well. Pretty impressive in this day and age where you usually can't speak to a person about your order even if you call.
Outstanding service from E trailer, superior product from CE Smith. Highly recommended.
Great customer service , second time ordering from E-Trailer
Thank you
I bought 4 (and the backing plates) to go in my skiff. They look good so far and I'm sure they will handle the Ono Mahi Aku and Ahi that I target here in Kona.
Excellent customer service shipped the same day. definitely will do business with them again.

Ordered two of these CE Smith rod holders from etrailer. High quality product on par or better than mate series. Etrailer's price was best price i could find and shipping to me was immediate. great product. very happy with etrailer and this purchase.
Great product
As advertised. Solid.
Would benefit from a gasket rather just relying on caulk for deck sealing.

After a year installed on my 22ft cc, these things are holding up well. Rust free and do the job well, very happy with them and will add a few more soon. Thank you etrailer.
