Attwood 5060-3 Sure Grip Steel 5 Degree Angle Rod Holder with Base (4-Inch)

Overview

The Attwood 5060-3 Sure Grip Steel 5 Degree Angle Rod Holder with Base (4-Inch) combines rugged materials with thoughtful design to support your fishing setup. The rod itself uses a 3/8-inch diameter coated steel core for strength, while a UV-resistant plastic coating protects the rod butt and handle from sun exposure and wear. An exposed stainless steel stem and a wing nut provide corrosion-resistance that stands up to salty air and spray. The extruded aluminum mounting base adds lightweight versatility, letting you adapt to a range of mounting surfaces, including rails and flat panels. The near-horizontal orientation produced by a 5 Degree angle helps keep lines orderly and within easy reach during long days on the water.

In practice, this rod holder is built to handle real-world fishing moments. The combination of durable materials and a user-friendly design is intended to support drift fishing, pan fishing, crappie outings, and similar techniques without getting in the way of your next cast or prize catch.
