A Down-East Rod Holder is a clamp-style rod holder to put spinning, casting, and fly rods into while entertaining several horizontal and vertical mounting positions. The models include the original Down Easter rod holder, the D-11 Inboard Rod Holder, and the Down-East Salty Rod Holder. All rod holders are versatile, all-metal, made-in-the-U.S.A. construction that can withstand all kinds of weather, including any potential extreme cold temperatures.

 

The D-10 Down-East Standard Rod Holder is a portable clamp-style rod holder rated for light to moderate for fish up to 25 pounds and for use with line up to 30-pound test. There are no releases to unclip or undo. When a fish strikes, lift the rod straight from the holder. A D-11 Down-East Inboard Rod Holder can be permanently fastened to any vertical or horizontal surface on your boat. Its included D-12 Extension Bracket allows for proper height adjustment of the holder when bolted on a flat surface. Both the D-10 and D-11 models are not recommended for muskie fishing. On the other hand, a Down-East Salty S-10 Rod Holder is great for heavy fish up to 85 lbs. Always high-strength and corrosion-resistant, Down-East Rod Holders are built to exceed your greatest demands.

 

  • D-10 Down-East Standard Rod Holder: Equipped with a single clamp mount that can open up to 2 inches, making it easy to mount and remount in various locations. This model was designed in 1946, and the basic mechanism remained unchanged. 
  • D-11 Down-East Inboard Rod Holder: Equipped with the D-12 Inboard Mount and a D-12 Extension Bracket. This rod holder can permanently attach to the inside or top of your boat's gunwales.
  • S-10 Salty Rod Holder: Equipped with a double c-clamp mount that can be easily attached and removed from various places. The c-clamps can open up to 2 inches wide.

    I've used Down-East rod holders for over 20 years for Salmon to perch. The version Fish-USA has is excellent for those square rails used on pontoons. Just check the clamp on occasion especially after you've made a run to another spot as the vibrations from the boat may loosen the screw clamp. The rod holder won't slip with a hit no matter how large the fish or how heavy the strike.

    I needed a solid, wide opening holder to use with my fishing boat and this is exactly what would fit there. Greatly appreciated the simple and efficient design, very good looking.

    I now own three of them for trolling in a canoe. Helps keeps hands free, and canoe uncluttered when paddling or landing fish. Easy to use. No brainer.

    I did put a thin piece of felt on the feet to not mark up the rails. The bottom line is these work flawlessly and are AWESOME!
