Product Details

The Down-East Rod Holder gives anglers rugged, all-metal rod support for trolling and bait fishing through cold mornings, rough weather, and demanding days on the water. Three models cover a broad range of freshwater and heavy-duty applications. The portable D-10 Standard uses a single clamp that opens to 2 inches and handles fish up to 25 pounds with line up to 30-pound test, making it a practical choice for walleye, trout, and similar species. The D-11 Inboard permanently mounts to a vertical or horizontal boat surface and includes the D-12 Inboard Mount and Extension Bracket for proper height on flat gunwales. Anglers can lift a rod straight from the D-10 or D-11 when a fish strikes without releasing clips or latches, though neither model suits muskie fishing. The S-10 Salty supports heavy fish up to 85 pounds and uses two removable C-clamps that open to 2 inches. High-strength, corrosion-resistant construction helps each model withstand extreme cold, spray, and repeated use.

  • 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.
  • All-metal, corrosion-resistant construction performs in harsh weather and extreme cold

    Durable and versatile

    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 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'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.

    This holder is the easiest to use when a fish strikes. One motion does it. You do not have to pull forward and up to set the hook, just remove the rod and set in hook in one easy movement. Down-East Rod Holders tout themselves as "The Last Rod Holder You Will Own" and it's true.
