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

    I purchased this rod holder because a friend of mine has them on his houseboat and they work really well. I just installed a model D-11 inboard bracket mount on the houseboat I fish from. I like the all metal construction and the fact they are made in the USA. The only improvement I could see was if there was a slot in the bottom of the rod holder where the trigger of a bait casting rod could go in. I put my rods where the reel is between where the rod holder closes.....this assures the rod can't be pulled out of the holder when a fish strikes. Since bait casting rods have a trigger....I am forced to put the reel behind where the rod holder closes...it would be nice to have a slot in the rod holder where the trigger could go through when the rod holder is closed. Other than that...I can't see any other suggestions to improve this rod holder.

    I've had two other Down-East Rod Holders, and they are definitely excellent products made here in America. The ability to quickly pull up and off your rod from the holder is wonderful innovation. The product is made of cast metal parts, and there is absolutely no non- durable parts parts associated with the holder. It seems that FishUSA.com has the best price for this outstanding product. A major competitor sells the same product for about $10 more. It's solid and somewhat heavy, and a true innovative American product.
