Overview

The TACO Marine F31-2200BXY-4A is a flared weld-on aluminum rod holder with a 9-3/4 inch length, 1-3/4 inch inside diameter, white PVC liner, and polished finish. It is made for permanent welded installation on boat towers, T-tops, radar arches, railings, and leaning posts where a secure rod position matters during trolling, running, or dockside rigging.

The flared opening makes rod placement easier when working quickly in the cockpit or around a tower leg, while the tapered liner helps the rod sit neatly inside the holder. The Brite Dip anodized aluminum finish adds a clean look and helps the holder stand up to the saltwater, sun, and washdown conditions common on fishing boats.

Key features

• 9-3/4 inch overall length with 1-3/4 inch inside diameter for common offshore and inshore rod setups.
• Weld-on aluminum construction for fixed mounting on towers, T-tops, radar arches, railings, and leaning posts.
• Flared mouth helps guide the rod into the holder when rods are being moved in and out during active fishing.
• White PVC liner is tapered to match the flared holder shape and helps protect the rod finish during use.
• Brite Dip anodized aluminum with a polished finish gives the holder a clean appearance and added surface protection.
• Welded pin construction helps seat the rod butt and works with larger gimbaled fishing rods.

Installation and setup

This rod holder is intended for weld-on installation, so it belongs in the hands of a fabricator or installer who can match it to the boat’s aluminum tower, top, arch, rail, or leaning post layout. Before welding, confirm the angle, rod clearance, and spacing around nearby antennas, outriggers, canvas, rocket launchers, and walkways.

Because the holder becomes a permanent part of the structure once installed, placement should account for how rods will be reached while fishing and how the boat is used underway. On center consoles and offshore fishing boats, it works well in locations where a clean, fixed rod storage point is needed without adding clamp hardware.

Use on board

This is a practical fit for anglers adding or replacing welded rod storage on towers, T-tops, leaning posts, or custom aluminum work. The polished finish and white liner suit installations where the rod holder remains visible, while the flared entry is useful when rods need to be handled quickly during trolling, drifting, or clearing the cockpit.
