Taco Metals Leaning Posts: Purpose-Built for Center Console Fishing

When it comes to center console fishing boat outfitting, Taco Metals has been the leader in marine fabrication for over 50 years, and their leaning post product line represents decades of refinement specifically for anglers who demand both comfort and functionality. Taco offers four high-quality, versatile leaning posts that attach directly to the deck with storage options and leaning post rod holder solutions, making them essential components for serious offshore and inshore fishing setups.

The Neptune Series: Engineered for Space-Conscious Anglers

Taco Metals' flagship Neptune series addresses the unique challenges of smaller center console boats where every inch matters. The Neptune Premium Leaning Post features four flush-mounted rod holders and a removable fiberglass tray under the seat, equipped with a folding footrest and wrap-around grab rail. For those seeking maximum versatility, the Neptune II Leaning Post has four aluminum rod holders, a removable soft-sided storage bag, a folding footrest and wrap-around grab rail, with a removable backrest easily added. This patented soft pack is easy to remove and provides a convenient tote for fishing gear, perfect for anglers transitioning from boat to shore.

Construction and Practical Features

Backed by 3-year warranty, these leaning posts are constructed of anodized aluminum, engineered and built to last. The material choice reflects Taco's understanding that leaning posts must withstand constant saltwater exposure while maintaining structural integrity. Each leaning post has room for a large 72-quart cooler underneath, which is supported in place with a strap, addressing one of the most practical concerns for tournament anglers and weekend fishing enthusiasts alike. The adjustable footrest system allows operators to customize their stance for long days at the helm, reducing fatigue during extended offshore runs.
