MuddyCreek Tackle Maximizer Cradle Rod Holder – Gimbal Mount

Built to Lock In, Angle Out, and Perform Under Pressure

The MuddyCreek Tackle Maximizer Cradle Rod Holder with Gimbal Mount is a top-tier solution for serious anglers who demand fast adjustability, rugged durability, and rock-solid security—all in one streamlined system. This version is specially designed to fit into existing gimbal rod sockets, making it the perfect choice for boaters who want high-performance rod control without drilling or adding track systems.

Precision Control, One-Handed Operation

Like all Maximizer models, this cradle features MuddyCreek’s signature friction-lock mechanism—allowing quick, smooth one-handed adjustment without the need for knobs, levers, or tools. Whether you're repositioning for a trolling pass or grabbing your rod in a hurry, the cradle stays exactly where you set it, even under stress or rough water.

Available in Two Sizes for Optimal Fit

Small Cradle: 1.600" inside diameter – ideal for light to medium tackle setups

Large Cradle: 2.075" inside diameter – built for heavy-duty rods or when more clearance is needed

Both cradles are made from anodized aluminum and come equipped with dual stainless steel reel catches. These catches are slotted and reversible, giving you the option to create a 90° stop wall or fine-tune the holding tension based on your fishing preferences.

Gimbal Mount Versatility

The base of this rod holder uses a solid, round gimbal post that drops into standard rod sockets and includes a locking plate with multi-hole options. This lets you rotate and lock the holder into multiple positions before final installation, so you get the exact rod angle you want—whether it's straight back, outboard, or slightly upward.

Gimbal mount bases are available in four standard angles for precise alignment with your boat's layout:

0° (90° vertical)

15°

25°

30°

Each mount includes:

Slotted holes for adjustable alignment

Pre-drilled pin holes for adding a gimbal bar (sold separately)

Built-in drain hole to prevent water buildup

No Drilling, No Problem

This gimbal setup is ideal for boats with built-in rod holder sockets and is especially favored by saltwater anglers and charter setups looking for flexible gear without permanent modification.

Built for Battle

All components are made from marine-grade anodized aluminum and stainless steel hardware to resist corrosion in both freshwater and saltwater. This system is built to hold firm under aggressive strikes, hard-pulling species, and continuous use.
