C.E. Smith Aluminum Clamp-On Rod Holder – Horizontal – 1.315" OD – Fits 1" Pipe (53710)

The C.E. Smith Aluminum Clamp-On Rod Holder (53710) is a durable and versatile solution for adding rod storage to your boat without drilling or permanent installation. Designed for horizontal mounting on 1" pipe or rail systems, this holder is ideal for T-tops, towers, and railings.

Constructed from marine-grade aluminum with a high-polish anodized finish, this rod holder offers excellent corrosion resistance and long-lasting performance in harsh saltwater environments.  Its precision-machined clamp provides a secure, slip-resistant fit, eliminating the need for welding and protecting internal wiring or tubing. 

The holder features a 1-5/8" inside diameter tube with a flared opening, allowing easy rod insertion and removal.  A heavy-duty welded gimbal bar keeps rods aligned and prevents rotation, while an integrated rod security hole allows for added retention using a strap or bungee.

Designed for convenience, this clamp-on rod holder installs quickly using 316 stainless steel hardware and can be repositioned as needed, making it a great option for anglers who want flexibility and performance.

Key Features & Performance

• Horizontal Orientation: Unlike vertical models, the 53710 features a clamp bracket oriented to wrap around horizontal piping, ensuring your fishing rod stays in a secure, upright position when mounted to cross-members.

• Marine-Grade Strength: Constructed from heavy-duty 100% anodized aluminum, this holder is built to withstand the rigors of saltwater environments while providing a mirror-like finish that rivals stainless steel.

• Integrated Protection: Outfitted with a UV-resistant tapered vinyl liner to protect your rod’s finish. A rugged, welded 1/3" tall gimbal bar is built into the base to lock your rod in place and prevent it from rotating.

• Slip-Resistant Fit: Precision-machined to create an exacting fit on 1.315" OD rails, preventing the holder from twisting or sliding even under the pressure of a heavy strike or high trolling speeds.

• Safety First: Includes a security hole in the 3/8" thick mounting blade, providing a dedicated attachment point for a safety tether to ensure your gear stays on the boat in rough conditions.
