• Dimensions:

  • Inside Diameter (ID): $13/8"$ ($35\text{ mm}$).

Performance & Use

This holder is ideal for mounting on T-Tops, hardtops, or fly-bridges, particularly on vessels where the mounting position is low and the cockpit is not excessively deep. The center rigger is used to run a line straight down the middle, typically positioning a bait further back than the side outriggers to attract strikes from fish that have missed the rest of the spread.

Compatible Poles

The AL7211CR is designed to work with 12-foot or 14-foot poles. Recommended models include:

• AO8712CR: 12 ft Center Rigger (Mk II)

• AO8714CR: 14 ft Center Rigger (Mk II)

• MX8712CR: 12 ft MX Step-Tube Style

Upgrade your fishing setup with the Lee’s Tackle 45° Center Rigger Holder, delivering strength, precision, and dependable performance for serious offshore anglers.

Installation Notes

• Mounting Hardware: Typically requires four $1/4"$ or $5/16"$ stainless steel fasteners (not included).

• Sealing: It is highly recommended to use a marine-grade polyurethane sealant (like Sikaflex 291 or 3M 5200) around the base and bolt holes to prevent water intrusion into the hardtop core.

• Positioning: Mount the holder as high as possible on the centerline of the boat. The goal is for the center rigger to be the highest point in your trolling spread.
