Space-Saving Design for Serious Anglers
Picture this: you're out on the water, lines in the water, and every inch of deck space counts. The Cannon Dual Rod Holder in its front-mount configuration clamps securely onto your downrigger boom, freeing up valuable rear space for landing fish or maneuvering gear. Perfect for boats where clutter is the enemy, this setup lets you run two rods simultaneously without the usual tangle of lines or holders competing for room.
Built tough for the demands of big-water fishing, it handles the rigors of trolling sessions targeting walleye, salmon, or stripers. The independent angle adjustments mean you can fine-tune each rod's position to match your spread, ensuring optimal bait presentation at any depth your downrigger reaches.
Seamless Fit and Easy Setup
Engineered to grip 1-5/16-inch diameter booms from Cannon downriggers—including those versatile telescopic models—this holder also plays nice with various other brands' setups. No need for custom adapters; just slide on the aluminum tube clamps, secure the Lexan dual-mounting bracket, and you're ready to fish.
- Two rugged rod tubes equipped with gimbal pins for smooth rod movement and bait detection.
- Strategic drain holes keep water from pooling, preventing corrosion even after repeated dunkings.
- Quick-release mechanism for swapping rods during active bites.
Installation takes minutes: Position the clamps around your boom, tighten with the included hardware, adjust angles, and lock it in. Pro tip: Pre-lube the adjustment knobs with marine grease for buttery-smooth operation season after season.
Long-Lasting Performance with Simple Care
To keep this workhorse humming, rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure and inspect clamps for wear annually. The corrosion-resistant materials shrug off UV and spray, but a quick wipe-down with a soft cloth maintains that factory-fresh look. Backed by a solid warranty, it's an investment in reliable gear that won't let you down when trophies are on the line.
Common tweaks: If rods feel loose, snug up the gimbal retainers. For heavy-duty use, consider adding lock washers to the clamps for extra bite on aluminum booms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this rod holder work with telescopic downrigger booms?
Yes, it fits perfectly on all 1-5/16-inch Cannon telescopic booms and many other brands, providing a secure clamp without slipping during heavy trolling.
Can I adjust the angles on each rod holder separately?
Absolutely. Each of the two rod tubes adjusts independently, allowing precise positioning for your trolling spread and better bite detection.
What features help with rod security and water drainage?
The rugged tubes include gimbal pins for rod rotation and drain holes to shed water quickly, preventing buildup and extending gear life.
Is this front-mount design space-efficient on smaller boats?
Yes, by mounting forward on the boom, it saves rear deck space, ideal for compact setups where every square foot matters during active fishing.
How do I maintain the clamps and brackets for longevity?
Rinse after use, apply marine grease to moving parts, and check tightness seasonally. The aluminum clamps and Lexan bracket are built for durability in harsh conditions.
Will it fit downriggers from other popular brands?
It accommodates several other downrigger makes with matching 1-5/16-inch booms, making it a versatile addition to mixed fleets.
What's the benefit of the gimbal in these rod tubes?
Gimbals let rods swivel freely during strikes, improving sensitivity so you spot bites via rod-tip movement without constant watching.
