Rail/Clamp Mount Rod Holder
If you are rocking 7/8" Dia. rails on your boat and have no interest in switching to track, this is the Fat A.Z. base for you. We offer these in two height options, Standard (seen in photo), and Tall (which are three inches taller than what's in the photo) Yes we know there are many options of rail mount rod holders out there. None of them do what our does. Ours grip the rail, and hold on to it TIGHT! We do not want our rod holder to spin on your rail, over time marking it up. But this does not mean our rod holder does not tip, because it does. Like all of our rod holders these bases allow for extremely fast, one handed tipping of the rods. This is great for fast lure depth changes, easier effort in checking and setting lines, or to simply move the rod tip to dodge obstacles. Once the angler becomes accustomed to interactively trolling with our style of bases they will become more efficient on the water, which leads to catching more fish. Can be ordered with out any holder (Base only), this option is great for the customers who already have Down East "Salty" holders. Can also be ordered with a Down East "Salty", or with a Fat A.Z. Tube.
Adding to the proven design of the Down East S-10, we made these rod holders able to be tipped the same way as all our other rod holder bases. Like all of our rod holders these bases allow for extremely fast, one handed tipping of the rods. This is great for fast lure depth changes, easier effort in checking and setting lines, or to simply move the rod tip to dodge obstacles. Once the angler becomes accustomed to interactively trolling with our style of bases they will become more efficient on the water, which leads to catching more fish. Can be ordered with out any holder or clamps (Brackets only), this option is great for the customers who already have Down East S-10 holders. Can also be ordered with a Down East "Salty", or with a Fat A.Z. Tube.
For more views of the tube click on the picture. This is the tube only, no base.
Fat A.Z. Tube is a optional holder that can be placed in ANY Fat A.Z. Rod Holder base. These would be primarily used for planner board rods in a trolling spread. They still offer the ease of the tipping that the Fat A.Z. bases are known for.
The tube can be mounting in the base 4 ways, giving options to the user on how they would like their setup to fit.
New for 2021 the Quick Attach Rail Mount. This base bolts on to a standard 7/8" Dia rail. The base accepts either a Slanted AZ Base, or a Straight AZ Base (not included, order separately), and one turn of the locking wing bolt a short side slide the holder comes off. Couple seconds is all it takes to put on and take off a holder with out damaging the rails on your boat.
