Taco Metals Side Mount Rod Holders
Taco Metals Side Mount Rod Holders: Built for Anglers Who Mean Business
When it comes to keeping rods organized, secure, and ready for action on the water, few names carry more weight than Taco Metals. Side mount rod holders represent one of the most practical and versatile additions any serious angler can make to their boat, and Taco Metals has spent decades engineering solutions that are as tough as the fishing environments they're designed for.
Founded in 1959, Taco Metals has built a reputation as a pioneer in marine hardware and sportfishing accessories. Taco Metals pioneered many products introduced to the marine industry, establishing a reputation for innovation, quality, and supply chain partnering. That legacy of craftsmanship extends directly into their side mount rod holder lineup.
Why Side Mount Rod Holders?
Side mount rod holders attach directly to gunwales, rails, or vertical surfaces on a boat, keeping fishing rods accessible and out of the way when not actively fighting a fish. Unlike flush-mount or clamp-on designs, side mount holders offer a clean, permanent installation while maximizing deck space — a critical consideration on center consoles, walkarounds, and offshore fishing boats.
What sets Taco Metals apart in this category is their commitment to marine-grade materials and precision manufacturing. Taco Marine products stand out due to their exceptional durability, precision engineering, and innovative designs — integrating advanced manufacturing techniques to produce stainless steel and aluminum components that exceed industry standards. For anglers who spend long days in saltwater environments, that level of build quality isn't a luxury — it's a necessity.
Material Quality and Construction
Taco Metals side mount rod holders are crafted with the harsh marine environment in mind. Taco Marine's range of rod holders and sportfishing accessories are designed for efficiency, durability, and ease of use. Whether finished in brushed anodized aluminum or polished stainless steel, each holder is engineered to resist corrosion and withstand the stress of big fish and rough seas. Welded I-beam construction secures rod butts in place and is proven to be more than two times stronger than other rod holders on the market.
Taco also offers side mount rod holders in a range of mounting configurations to fit different boat styles, rail diameters, and angling preferences. Whether you're rigging a flats skiff or a bluewater sportfisher, there's a Taco side mount solution engineered for your setup.
