Overview
The TACO Marine F31-0781BXY-1 is a deluxe offset trident rod holder cluster that turns one existing boat rod holder into three usable rod positions. It uses three 9-3/4 in offset flared rod holders in a trident layout, giving anglers more working space for kite fishing, trolling setups, or keeping extra rods ready without adding permanent hardware to the boat.
The 1-1/2 in tube is made to fit standard 1-5/8 in rod holders, including common gunnel mount rod holders. Its welded high-polished aluminum construction suits saltwater fishing layouts where gear is moved, rinsed, stored, and used hard across a long day on deck.
A detachable tackle tray and cup holder add practical storage close to the rod spread, with pre-drilled holes for tools and rigging items. The offset arrangement helps separate larger rods and reels so they are easier to handle while the boat is underway or while lines are being managed from the cockpit.
Key features
- Three 9-3/4 in offset flared rod holders let one installed rod holder support a three-rod cluster.
- 1-1/2 in tube fits standard 1-5/8 in rod holders for use with common gunnel mount setups.
- Offset trident layout gives rods and reels more room than a straight vertical cluster.
- Welded high-polished aluminum construction is well suited to regular deck use and washdowns.
- Detachable tackle tray keeps knives, pliers, rigs, lures, spoons, and other small gear within reach.
- Integrated cup holder gives the cockpit a convenient place for a drink without using a separate accessory.
- Round gimbal pin construction helps accommodate many custom rod setups.
- Eye strap attachment point supports a safety lanyard or de-hooker placement.
- Mesh storage bag helps the cluster dry after use and helps protect deck or storage surfaces from scratches.
Installation and fit
This cluster is made for boats that already have compatible standard rod holders installed. The base tube drops into the existing holder, so it can be added for a fishing trip and removed when the cockpit needs to be cleared for cruising, family use, or storage.
Before ordering, confirm that the receiving rod holder has a 1-5/8 in inside diameter and enough depth and support for the cluster, rods, and fishing load. As with any removable rod holder accessory, the strength of the installed holder and its backing matter, especially when carrying larger offshore rods or when the boat is moving in chop.
Use on board
This rod holder cluster is a good match for anglers who need more rod positions without drilling new holes in the gunwale. It is especially useful for kite fishing setups where line control and close rod access matter, but it also works as a removable three-rod station for trolling preparation, rig changes, or dockside staging.
The tackle tray keeps frequently used tools in one place, which helps reduce clutter around the cockpit. The larger 9-3/4 in holder length gives heavier rods and reels more support than a short holder, while the offset layout helps keep handles and reels from crowding each other.
Maintenance and care
After saltwater use, rinse the cluster with fresh water and let it dry before storage. Pay attention to the rod holder tubes, tray area, gimbal pin, and attachment points where salt and grit can collect.
Store the unit in the included mesh bag once it is dry enough for the boat locker or tackle area. This helps protect the polished aluminum finish and reduces the chance of scratching nearby deck or storage surfaces.
