Eagle Claw AABRH Clamp-On Aluminum Boat Rod Holder, Black Finish

Have 6 of these, and they work great as rod holders and as mounting hardware for a pair of DIY outriggers (pvc pipes with crab/lobster trap floats - B003OAWS44).These rod holders are rugged. The clamps open up to just under 2 inches wide, and grip very tightly onto a plastic canoe. No problems trolling - i.e. clamp does not dislodge, horizontal/vertical rod adjusters do not get out of whack, no visible stress from the added drag when a fish takes the lure.No need to drill holes, fuss with mounting hardware, and setup/tear down takes only a few seconds. Hence, nothing "permanent" attached to my canoe, making it easy to transport and configure for the fishing situation - with or without rod holders, extra set (or not) when fishing with someone else, with or without the outriggers (depends on who is on board). Can mount these virtually anywhere, making it comfortable and safe to reach for the rods.

Bought this for my Old Town canoe and it works perfectly. Super sturdy, and totally adjustable. Not a bad price either. I actually had one before but sold it with the canoe (not a smart move!). Liked it so much that I bought it again. Perfect for trolling in my canoe.

This is my second eagle claw mount. Its exactly what I was looking for. Do a lot of trolling in our Bayliner run a bout, not exactly a great fishing boat. I clamp them to the wind shield with a piece of rubber inner tube over the frame and glass to keep from scratching the glass. They work great. Saves alot of arm fatigue. Would recommend it to anyone who likes to troll. An excellent product.

Excelent product. Easy to use, can handle any situation it's designed for.Worth every penny spent. Lots of holders out there but none that i have experienced can match it.

Well built good value for the money wasn’t what I needed but overall a nice product

I have a pontoon boat with sides made of square tubing. I clamped the Eagle Claw rod holder onto the square tubing and started river trolling. I bumped the holder with my elbow, and the holder popped off. So, I put it in a different location, and clamped it extra tight. I snagged a weed and the holder, plus may rod and reel popped off. I barely caught the whole mess as it was heading for the river. On my second time out with these holders, I found a place on the boat where the horizontal square tubing met vertical square tubing for a mounting surface that had more area. I clamped it tight enough that I was worried about damaging the holder. After trolling for a while, I snagged the bottom and again, the holder popped off and I caught it as it was leaving the boat. I pulled the holders off my boat not willing to take another chance at loosing my gear. When I got home, I went to my orders and saw that I cant return the holders I purchased because I am a few weeks out of the 30 day return window. So, one stars it is for this product.

This rod holder is heavy duty. The clamp is larger than expected but works nicely. As you can see in the pictures if you are using it for a canoe, mine is an older Mohawk, the clamp has a lot of room when tightened down and it does tighten down not allowing it to move around. I initially had the turn screw on the inside of the canoe but the holder twisted and didn't sit right so I moved the screw to the outside and it works much better. You will have a problem with a shorter rod handle say 7" like a light weight rod. The handle, like on my medium weight rod, is 9" and sits really well in the holder. I think the shorter handle will wiggle out when on the river or lake. The holder itself twists by lifting up on it slightly and turning it then pushing it back down to lock it in place. The rods are loose when sitting in the holder but should stay put for rivers and lakes. See pictures

Got these for my aluminum boat, they work well. Easy to take on and off, move to where you need them, and adjustable for the right angle. Eagle Claw name brand.
