MuddyCreek Tackle Maximizer Rod Holder Mounts – Built for Precision, Strength, and Seamless Compatibility

The MuddyCreek Tackle Maximizer Series offers anglers the ultimate in strength, adjustability, and modular rigging with our tube-style and cradle-style rod holder options—each designed with serious fishing in mind. Whether you're trolling open water or locked into a tough bite nearshore, the Maximizer delivers fast, one-handed adjustments with its signature friction-lock design—no knobs, levers, or tools required.

Two Rod Holder Styles, One Proven System

• Maximizer Tube Rod Holder
  Built from anodized aluminum and designed for simplicity and durability, the tube holder features a clean internal finish, a drain hole at the base, and pin holes for an optional gimbal bar (sold separately). Ideal for trolling setups and drop-in storage.
  
• Maximizer Cradle Rod Holder
  Available in Small (1.600" ID) and Large (2.075" ID) sizes, the cradle features dual stainless steel reel catches that hold rods firmly in place without straps or clips. These catches are slotted and reversible—offering either a 90° stop or custom tension control for fast access or max security.
  

Mounting Options to Fit Every Setup

Whatever your boat layout or rigging style, MuddyCreek Tackle offers a mounting solution that gets your gear exactly where it needs to be:

• Standard Mount – A flat base designed for permanent installation on any flat gunwale or surface.
  
• Track Mount – Slides into MuddyCreek’s premium anodized aluminum tracks using two knurled thumb screws for easy, tool-free adjustment.

  Crestliner (90°)

  These custom-cut mounts install directly into your boat’s gunnel system with no adapter plates or extra hardware needed.
