C.E. Smith Aluminum Clamp-On Rod Holder – Horizontal – 1.90" OD (53730)

The C.E. Smith Aluminum Clamp-On Rod Holder (53730) is a durable and convenient solution for adding rod storage to your boat without drilling. Designed for horizontal mounting, this rod holder easily clamps onto 1-1/2" pipe (1.90" outer diameter), making it ideal for T-tops, rails, and other tubular structures.

Constructed from high-quality anodized aluminum, this rod holder offers excellent resistance to corrosion, making it perfect for both freshwater and saltwater environments. The clamp-on design allows for quick installation and repositioning, giving anglers flexibility in setting up their fishing gear.

Featuring a rubber insert, the holder helps protect your fishing rod from scratches while providing a secure grip. Its angled design keeps rods safely in place and ready for action, whether trolling or storing rods between uses.

Ideal for center consoles, bay boats, and offshore fishing vessels, the C.E. Smith clamp-on rod holder is a practical and reliable addition to any fishing setup.

Key Features & Performance

• Anodized Construction: Made from 100% anodized marine-grade aluminum, providing a durable and stylish alternative to heavier stainless steel options while remaining highly resistant to saltwater corrosion.

• Slip-Resistant Fit: The clamp is precision-machined for an exacting fit on aluminum towers and rails, preventing the holder from sliding under the weight of heavy gear.

• Integrated Rod Protection: Features a tapered vinyl liner to prevent scratches on your rod butts and a rod security hole in the blade for attaching a safety lanyard.

• No-Drill Installation: Uses a simple clamp-on design with 316 stainless steel screws, allowing you to add rod holders to your tower or T-top without the risk of heat damage to internal wiring from welding.

• Heavy-Duty Components: Includes a 3/8" thick blade and a rugged, welded 1/3" tall gimbal bar that prevents your fishing rod from spinning during transit or while trolling.

Installation Tip: When mounting to anodized aluminum towers, these clamps are preferred because they minimize the risk of "pitting" that can occur when using stainless steel clamps on aluminum. For a permanent fit, verify your rail diameter with a caliper; a 1-1/2" pipe standard in the marine industry always measures 1.90" O.D.
