Marlin Fishing
February 7, 2009Trolling for Giant Bluefin Tuna in New England
April 1, 2009Fisherman’s Outfitter carries only the Highest Quality Stainless-Steel Rod Holders. Our Heavy-Duty Swivel Rod Holders are built custom becuase no company could produce a strong enough holder to withstand the rigors of Giant Bluefin Fishing at a reasonable price.
We offer two different angles 15 degree and 0 degree (90 degree). When choosing a Rod Holder, placement and function are the keys to deciding the angle. If you are plan on fighting the fish from the holder a 0 (or 90) is the most logical choice. Most captains choose to place them in the rear corner. Since there is no angle on the holder it gives a full range of motion. If you are using straight butts a 15 degree is the choice for you. Most captains fishing bent butts will line their gunnels with 15 degree holders because they can angle them towards the outriggers and when a fish hits they swivel back to where the fish is.
Our Custom Swivel Rod Holders come with a Stainless-Steel backing plate and all the necessary mounting equipment (nuts,bolts and washers).
