Plastic Fishing Rod Holder – Vertical Bulkhead Mount with U-Bolts, White, 230 mm

This Osculati plastic rod holder provides a reliable spot to secure your fishing rods during cruising or trolling, keeping them upright and within reach. It is designed to mount on a vertical surface – for example, the inside of the boat’s gunwale, the transom wall, or even on a vertical rail post. The holder is fastened using the included stainless steel U-bolts, which loop around part of the holder and tighten from the backside of the mounting surface. This method avoids having standard screws on the front of the holder and ensures an extremely strong attachment that can withstand vibrations and wave impacts.

The holder is made from white impact-resistant plastic that stands up to the marine environment. Its height of about 230 mm grips a substantial portion of the rod handle, preventing the rod from bouncing out or tilting excessively. The top of the tube is flared/oval-shaped to make inserting and removing your rod easy, and also to protect your reel from scraping against the sides. The bottom end typically features a drain slot to let water out and can secure the rod butt to keep it from turning.

Removable convenience: A unique advantage of this model is that it’s removable – the rod holder attaches to the U-bolt clamps via a sliding rail or screw knob mechanism, meaning you can quickly detach the holder when needed. This is useful if you want to clear the deck or stow the holders away when not fishing. Meanwhile, the U-bolt clamps remain discreetly mounted, sitting flat against the surface and out of the way when the holder is removed.

Applications:

• Install 2-4 of these holders along the gunwales of your fishing boat to keep rods upright while you travel to the next spot. This prevents lines from tangling and rods from getting damaged in transit.
• Ideal for mounting on the transom board of an inflatable boat or the stern of a motorboat – keeping rods organized during trolling or while underway.
• Use them during stationary fishing (bottom fishing, bait fishing from the boat) – you can rest your rod in the holder while preparing bait or handling another task, without fear of it sliding overboard.
• Compatible with most standard fishing rods – from spinning rods to heavier trolling rods – thanks to a generous inner diameter of ~4.5 cm that accommodates thick handles.

Tip: For added security during intense fishing action, you can tether your rod to the holder with a strap or bungee (there are small holes intended for this), especially when targeting large fish. The holder is intended for vertical mounting, but it can be attached to almost any flat or slightly curved surface as long as the U-bolts can clamp around it. With this Osculati rod holder, you’ll keep your deck tidy, your rods protected, and enjoy greater convenience on all your fishing adventures.
