Cannon Adjustable Rod Holders
Cannon Adjustable Rod Holders: Precision Positioning on the Water
When serious trolling anglers talk about rod holder performance, Cannon is consistently at the top of the conversation. Adjustable rod holders from Cannon are purpose-built to complement the brand's legendary downrigger ecosystem, giving anglers the control they need to dial in a perfect trolling spread—whether chasing Great Lakes salmon, trophy coastal species, or late-season walleye.
Cannon Downriggers has been a driving force in controlled-depth fishing since its founding in 1979, and that same engineering DNA runs through every rod holder in its lineup. The brand's adjustable holders are designed as natural extensions of the downrigger setup, and their integration shows in the details.
The Dual-Axis Adjustable Rod Holder
Cannon's flagship in this category is the Dual-Axis Adjustable Rod Holder, available in a convenient two-holder downrigger mount. It can be adjusted on two axes, allowing for front-to-back and 360-degree rotation, making it ideal for setting your trolling spreads and storing your fishing rods. What sets it apart from a standard swivel holder is the combination of freedom and stability it provides: its locking pin ensures your rods stay in place even in rough waters, while the built-in ratcheting mechanism allows for easy vertical positioning without needing to push any buttons.
A pistol grip release allows for quick, one-handed angle changes, and the innovative ratcheting adjustment system allows you to easily pull the holder to a vertical position. The design includes a UV-resistant cap to prevent scratching expensive equipment, and comes with two aluminum tube clamps and a dual mounting bracket.
Three-Position Adjustable Rod Holder
For anglers who want straightforward versatility, Cannon also offers the Three-Position Adjustable Rod Holder. This holder offers a three-position configuration delivering fast baitcast or spinning rod pickup, and its 360° base can be top or side mounted. A spring-loaded tension knob provides fast rod adjustment, making this three-position holder ideal for baitcasting and spinning rods. Adapters are available to customize the fit for different boat setups.
Designed to Work With Your Downrigger System
Cannon's fishing rod holders pair seamlessly with the brand's family of downriggers to make controlled-depth fishing efficient and easy, allowing anglers to optimize their trolling spread with multiple rod holders. The Dual-Axis model is specifically designed to mount between the mounting base and swivel base of a Cannon downrigger, keeping your spread organized and your lines properly separated without cluttering the boat.
These rod holders offer versatility for positioning rods whether using light surface lines in spring or heavier lead core and copper lines, and charter captains highlight the versatility of Cannon's Dual Axis rod holders especially for dipsy setups. The pin system for gimbal-mounted rod butts ensures the line counter is always visible —a small but critical detail for serious trollers tracking their presentation depth.
Built for the Long Haul
Cannon offers a variety of different systems, and each is designed with state-of-the-art ergonomics and legendary durability. Whether you're outfitting a charter boat or your personal fishing rig, Cannon's adjustable rod holders represent a smart investment in a more organized, effective trolling spread.
