Boat rod holder GS-500XL

rotating

Hardcore offshore sport fishing boats with thicker hardtops require a heavy-duty outrigger mount that can withstand day after day of pounding rides when chasing pelagic species. The Pro Series GS-500XL Outrigger Mount has a longer body for hardtops up to 4-1/2" thick. Like the Pro Series GS-500, the 500XL is durable, attractive and well known in the industry. Anglers can easily adjust the lift and rotation of the GS-500XL from the safety of the deck. This mount also features our patent-pending Twist & Lock outrigger pole connection and pairs exclusively with our award-winning Carbon Fiber Tele-Outriggers up to 24’ long.
