Tempress Original Fish-On! Rod Holder with Side Mount, Black, Single Pack

The Tempress Original Fish-On! Rod Holder (72012) is the rod holder that set the standard for adjustable rod holders and has sold well over a million units. Built for anglers who want fast, secure rod placement on deck, it offers 360 degrees of horizontal adjustment and 90 degrees of vertical adjustment, so the rod angle can be dialed in for trolling, casting, or storage. The enlarged opening is designed so that the simple act of pulling the rod free creates a hook-setting motion, helping anglers react quickly when a fish strikes. A sliding locking ring holds the rod securely in place once it is set, preventing it from working loose in rough water or while trolling.

This single-pack unit comes equipped with a side mount ready for installation, allowing it to be mounted to a boat gunwale, console, or other flat vertical surface without needing to buy the mount separately. It is molded in black from rugged, corrosion-resistant material suited to saltwater and freshwater use, and is sized to accept rods up to 1.5 inches in diameter. It ships as a complete, ready-to-install rod holder and mount kit.
