Tigress XD 3K Carbon Fiber 18' Telescoping Center Rigger with Tigress Track System for Boats Up to 40 ft

Overview

The Tigress XD 3K Carbon Fiber 18' Telescoping Center Rigger is engineered for sport fishing boats up to 40 feet. It features a patented Tigress Track Internal Tracking System and a sleek 3K carbon weave for a clean, performance-minded profile. When not in use, the outrigger collapses to under 6 feet, making trailering, bridge crossings, and storage easier. The rig is equipped with 316 polished stainless steel eyelets, and the latest rings and tips have been redesigned to optimize handling. UVI thermoplastic butt sleeves ensure compatibility with Tigress top mounts, and a heavy-duty mesh storage bag is included for organized transport. Sold as a pair and backed by a 1-year limited warranty, these outriggers are built to withstand the demands of saltwater use while offering a lighter, more responsive feel than traditional setups.

Patterns of Innovation

The patented Tigress Track Internal Tracking System delivers smooth, guided movement along the outrigger, helping you position lines and lures with greater confidence. Combined with the lightweight yet stiff 3K carbon fiber construction, this design aims to provide a balanced, responsive trolling experience across varying sea states. The redesigned rings and tips reduce snag and drag, supporting cleaner deployments and quicker stowing between passes.

Durability Meets Saltwater Reality

Durability is built into every component. The 316 polished stainless steel eyelets resist corrosion from brine and spray, while the carbon fiber wrap offers stiffness without excess weight. The UVI thermoplastic butt sleeves protect the mounting interface, helping the outrigger cope with long days on the water and repeated deployments.

Practical Convenience and Compatibility

Retracting to under 6 feet makes trailering and bridge crossings more manageable, and the butt sleeves ensure compatibility with all Tigress top mounts. The included heavy-duty mesh bag keeps hardware and the outrigger components protected during storage and transport, so setup and teardown stay efficient on busy boat days.

Use Scenarios You Might Appreciate

In real-world use, anglers may notice quicker setup times, easier line management, and a stable platform for long runs. The combination of light weight, robust carbon fiber, and an integrated tracking system supports a dependable trolling experience, while the pair configuration offers symmetric balance across the boat’s profile. While results vary by conditions and technique, this rig is designed to offer practical enhancements without promising specific outcomes.
