Taco Metals Outriggers & Accessories: Built for the Offshore Angler

When it comes to putting baits in the water and covering maximum spread offshore, few names carry the weight of Taco Metals. TACO Marine — the sport fishing division of Taco Metals, LLC — has been at the forefront of outrigger engineering since 1959, and that decades-long commitment shows in every component they produce for serious anglers.

Browsing the full Outriggers & Accessories category reveals just how comprehensively Taco Metals covers the offshore spread. Their lineup spans complete outrigger systems all the way down to the small-but-critical hardware that keeps your rigging organized, tensioned, and fish-ready.

Patented Tele-Outrigger Technology

At the heart of the TACO outrigger lineup is their patented Tele-Outrigger system — a telescoping pole design engineered to provide a secure, sturdy fit even in rough offshore conditions. The Grand Slam 170 Outrigger Kit is built around this technology, offering anglers a universal solution that installs quickly and holds firm when the seas kick up. For boats that came “Outrigger Ready” from the factory with TACO’s patent-pending mounting plate, top mounts like the Grand Slam and Sport Slam series bolt on in minutes, minimizing downtime and getting you back on the water fast.

Complete Rigging Kits & Line Management

TACO Marine takes the guesswork out of rigging with thoughtfully packaged kits. The Premium Double Rigging Kit includes Dacron halyard line, a single-roller pulley shock cord with stainless-steel snap hooks, adjustable tension release clips, and line stops — everything needed to get two baits swimming per pole and covering a wide trolling spread. For anglers who want an upgrade, the Premium Triple Braid Rigging Kit pairs perfectly with a 15’ Tele-Outrigger for a full-day fishing setup.

Line organization is another area where TACO’s accessory depth stands out. The Outrigger Line Tensioner — with its sleek, stainless-steel mushroom design — locks halyard pulley blocks in place with minimal effort, eliminating the snagging “camel-back” cleats that frustrate many anglers. The companion Line Caddy keeps halyard lines tamed and tidy between trips.

Mounting Hardware & Installation Accessories

From backing plates and wedge plates to clamp-on mounting solutions, Taco Metals offers the full range of hardware needed to make virtually any boat outrigger-ready. Whether you’re retrofitting an older center console or upgrading a tournament-ready sportfisher, TACO’s accessory ecosystem means you won’t be hunting down parts from multiple manufacturers. Their exclusive Outrigger Servicing Program even lets owners send in aluminum Tele-Outrigger poles for a professional tune-up, extending the life of gear that’s seen hard offshore miles.

Why Anglers Trust TACO for Outriggers

TACO Marine’s outrigger products are trusted by boat builders worldwide, and for good reason — the brand combines in-house manufacturing precision with design innovation that addresses real-world fishing scenarios. Whether you’re chasing marlin, wahoo, or other pelagic species, having a reliable, well-organized spread starts with the right outrigger system and accessories. With 20 products in this category backed by the engineering heritage of a company founded in 1959, Taco Metals delivers both the depth of selection and the proven performance offshore anglers demand.
