This heavy-duty stainless steel holder is designed to withstand the pressure of big game fishing with up to a 130-lb class rod. Part of CE Smith's 80 Series line of extra-large, 10-1/2" long rod holders, this model features an oversized flange and a rounded cast bottom with a built-in, threaded drain for attaching a hose to route water into the bilge. The 30-degree angle helps you create a wide trolling spread by positioning your rod tip further from the boat. 30-Degree rod holders are more commonly used than 15- or 20-degree holders or straight holders.


Route Water Away from Dry Storage Areas

Using a rod holder over a dry storage area is no longer an issue. This holder has a threaded 1/2" diameter drain built into the bottom. Attach a 1/2" threaded hose barb with a drain hose (not included) to route water into the bilge so the rest of your boat stays dry. The large diameter of the drain helps minimize clogging, which is frequently seen with rod holders that have smaller 1/4" drains.


Rounded Cast Bottom

A smooth, rounded cast bottom is safe for mounting in open gunwales because there are no sharp edges to scrape your shins or to snag your gear.


Strong Gimbal Bar and Protective Vinyl Liner

There's a 1/4" wide x 1/2" tall gimbal bar positioned above the drain that 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 the holder. This tough gimbal bar also helps boost the overall strength and rigidity of the rod holder.


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 5-1/8" long x 4-1/4" 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 (CE53683A - sold separately) with this rod holder to reinforce the mounting area.


Installation requires that a 2-1/4" 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).

Video Transcript for Review of CE Smith Fishing Rod Holders - Stainless Steel Rod Holder - CE53682CA

Hello, everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer. Today we're gonna take a look at this heavy duty stainless steel, 30-degree flush mount fishing rod holder with the cast bottom drain. Now this is a heavy duty, 30-degree flush mounted rod holder. It's designed to hold up to one 130-pound class fishing pole. So this is gonna let you fish hands free and have multiple lines in the water. Now, the 30-degree angle on this will help create a nice wide trolling spread and the 30 degrees is the most common angle for fishing rod holders.

The holder is designed to mount into your boat's gunwale. It will require a 2 1/4 inch diameter hole to be cut into the gunwale for this to fit into. And if you look up at the top, you'll see the three holes here. It attaches with 3/4 inch bolts or screws. Now, those are not included.

You would have to supply those. The bottom on this you can see is a nice rounded cast bottom. So we'll provide added safety if it's mounted in an open gunwale. There's no sharp edges to scrape your shins or your gear. And also, if you look at the bottom, has a threaded half inch diameter drain hole.

This will let you attach a hose to route water into the build. It is threaded a half an inch, so you just put a half inch threaded hose barb fitting in there, hook your hose to it and then you can drain the water. This is used for mounting a holder over a dry storage area. And again, the threaded hose, barb and hose that we mentioned is not included. You would have to supply that.

This is made of a nice heavy duty 316L stainless steel construction. It is rustproof, corrosion resistant. You can see it has a nice polished mirror finish. Gives a nice good look on your boat. And the flange on the top here when it's installed has a nice wide low profile flange. It's welded to the tube for durability. The mounting flange itself is about 5 1/8 inches long and about 4 1/4 inches wide. Now, it does use a tall built-in gimbal bar at the bottom here. Helps keep your rod from spinning. And on the inside, you can see the white portion. It's a nice vinyl liner, protects your rod from scratches and scuffs. Now, the overall height, if we put it in this position and we measure to the highest point, from the table up is 12.5 inches. The inner diameter is 1 7/8 inches. Outer diameter, we mentioned, 2 1/4 inches. Now, if you do have any other additional questions regarding this part or any other item that we carry, please feel free to reach out to us so we can help you get all of your questions answered for you. But that's gonna do it for a look at this heavy duty, stainless steel 30-degree flush mount fishing rod holder.
