Part Number: PKLRM Select 7/8" or 1.0" Rail Size (Prices for custom rail sizes if available will be conveyed to the customer once we know the size and availablility)
The long cradle was originally designed for charter boats but has been adopted by many fishermen with a smaller size deck. The unit was engineered to allow the reel to be held further up the cradle keeping more of the rod handle out of the boat. There is a security ring at the end of the cradle which can be quickly engaged/disengaged.
Charter captains use of the long cradle allows for comfort and freedom for their customers to move around the deck.
This product is great for pulling dipsy's and trolling with Muskie lures!
Product Features
The cradle style rod holders are designed to index 360° with 20 interlocking positions by simply lifting and turning our exclusively engineered spring loaded mechanism. When engaged, it is secured by machined teeth around the entire circumference for virtually no wear on the product ensuring long lasting sustainability.
In addition to the radial movement, the cradle will adjust to any angle from 0-135° by actuating the padded lever. The lever can be rotated in any direction to meet the needs of each user. No tools are required for positioning of the rod holder. All aluminum components are anodized to military specs.
The cradle rod holder is designed to ensure quick removal of the rod from the holder. The handle of the rod can be removed by tilting it up vertically and freeing it from the cradle.
Thumbscrew Rail Mount Features
Our newly designed thumbscrew rail mount gives the user additional options than the rail mount described above. As shown to the right, the rod holder is attached to a top plate with two thumbscrews and can be attached/unattached leaving only the slim fitted mount attached to the rail.
Users found this mount most practical when frequently removing the rod holders from their boat for storage or to re-attach the slim fitted boat cover.
If you are more of a casual fisherman and prefer to have multiple placements around your boat you may also purchase additional base mounts. This option allows you to move your rod holders from base to base rather than purchasing additional rod holders than necessary.
