Save space with this clever new rod holder and cleat
This clever combo cleat and rod holder saves mounting space on your gunwalesRod holders are serving more than one purpose these days. We've seen combo drink and rod holder units (second pic), rod holders that have drink caddies for serving cocktails and snacks, and now Accon Marine in the USA has this clever Cleat/Rod Holder Combo.
The new through-deck combo fitting has been designed to ensure there's always an extra spot to place a fishing rod, while keeping the cleat out of the way when not needed.
The 152mm pull-up cleat on the combo unit features a stylish yet functional design that rests flush with the deck when not in use.
Its integrated rod holder comes in a choice of 0°, 15° or 30° offset angles. Boat owners no longer have to settle for installing a rod holder in a less than optimal location, nor worry about snagging a fishing line while working the day's catch.
While it's not intended for heavy-duty offshore fishing, the fitting may well serve a purpose on crossover and multipurpose trailerboats.
Hardware that can serve more than one purpose both frees up space onboard and gains extra value in the eyes of boat owners.
The Accon Marine Cleat/Rod Holder Combo measures just 192mm L x 95mm W x 213mm D. It mounts with four 1/4in stainless steel screws.
Accon Marine has a range of trick deck fittings that might come in handy for the refit guy. More from www.acconmarine.com.
