Description

C.E. Smith Flush Mount Rod Holder – 0 Degree 10-1/2″ Deep – 53680CA

The C.E. Smith 53680CA is a heavy-duty, 0-degree vertical rod holder designed for the most demanding offshore fishing. As part of the 80 Series, it is engineered with a larger, low-profile cap that provides superior stress distribution, protecting your gunwale from spider cracks when using heavy tackle or downriggers.

This specific “CA” model is distinguished by its 10.5-inch deep tube and a specialized cast rounded bottom. This design is “shin-safe” for boats with open gunwales and includes an integrated 1/2″ NPT threaded drain, allowing you to route water away from dry storage areas using a standard hose barb.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Heavy Tackle Rated: Built to handle up to 130-lb class rods, making it ideal for big-game species like tuna and marlin.

  • Safe Rounded Bottom: The cast stainless steel bottom is smooth and rounded, preventing injuries to passengers or damage to gear in open cockpits.

  • Advanced Water Management: Features a built-in threaded drain port to keep your bilge or storage lockers dry.

  • Indestructible Gimbal: An integrally cast gimbal bar provides a rock-solid anchor for your rod and resists bending under extreme pressure.

  • Premium Protection: Includes a white, UV-resistant vinyl liner that is keyed to the gimbal bar so it won’t twist or slip.
