Overview

The TACO Marine F31-0702BXY is a 10° flush mount rod holder with a round flange, aluminum construction, and a deluxe anodized finish for clean installation on fishing boats. Its 5-1/2" tube section gives the rod butt a secure pocket below the deck surface, while the angled layout keeps the rod positioned naturally along a gunwale or leaning post.

This rod holder is built for everyday rod storage and trolling setups where a flush look matters and deck space needs to stay usable. A welded I-beam seats the rod butt, and the welded pin design adds strength at the contact point inside the tube. It can also be used with compatible TACO Carbon Fiber Tele-Sun Shade Pole setups when the installation calls for a deck-mounted support point.

Key features

• 10° flush mount layout helps angle the rod outward from the gunwale or leaning post.
• Round flange gives the installation a clean finished edge on the mounting surface.
• Aluminum construction with deluxe anodized finish suits visible cockpit and fishing-area installations.
• 5-1/2" tube section supports the rod butt below the deck surface.
• Welded I-beam helps keep the rod butt seated while underway or while fishing.
• Welded pin design adds support inside the holder.
• Form-fitted white PVC liner helps protect the rod handle and reduces direct contact with the aluminum tube.
• Made in the USA and backed by a 5-year limited warranty.

Installation and fit

This is a flush mount rod holder, so the boat must have the correct mounting location, clearance below the surface, and structure to support the rod load. It is commonly suited to gunnels and leaning posts where the tube can drop below the top surface without interfering with wiring, plumbing, flotation, or other hardware.

Before cutting or replacing an existing holder, check the available depth for the 5-1/2" tube section and confirm that the 10° angle works with the rod spread and nearby hardware. On cored fiberglass surfaces, seal the exposed core properly during installation to help keep water out of the laminate.

Use on board

This holder is a good match for anglers who want a fixed rod position that stays low-profile when not in use. It works well in fishing areas where removable clamp-on holders would be in the way, and it keeps the cockpit or gunwale area tidy for coastal fishing, offshore runs, and dockside rod storage.
