Overview

The TACO Marine F31-0780BXY-1 is a straight Deluxe Trident rod holder cluster that turns one boat rod holder into three rod positions for kite fishing, trolling spreads, and quick cockpit rod management. It uses three 9-3/4 inch flared rod holders in a trident layout, with a 1-1/2 inch shaft made to fit standard rod holders with a 1-5/8 inch diameter.

This cluster is built from welded aluminum with a high-polished finish, giving offshore and coastal anglers a clean way to add rod capacity without drilling new holes or changing the boat’s existing rod holder layout. The straight configuration keeps the setup compact and organized, especially when kite rods, heavy reels, or spare rods need to stay close at hand.

An eye strap attachment gives a practical tie-off point for a safety lanyard or de-hooker placement, and the included mesh bag helps the unit dry after wet use while protecting deck lockers and storage surfaces.

Installation and fit

This rod holder cluster drops into a compatible existing rod holder, so it is useful on boats where rod capacity needs to increase without adding permanent hardware. Before ordering, check that the receiving rod holder can accept a 1-1/2 inch shaft and has the standard 1-5/8 inch inside diameter needed for proper fit.

The straight shaft works well for gunwale-mounted rod holders where a compact, centered setup is preferred. It is a practical match for fishing boats that need fast rod staging during kite fishing, live-bait work, or spread changes while keeping the deck layout clean.

Use on board

Anglers running multiple rods from a limited cockpit area will appreciate the extra capacity without a more involved installation. The flared holders help guide rods into place quickly, and the clustered layout keeps kite rods or standby rods within reach while the crew works around the transom or gunwale.
