Storing fishing rods on a fibreglass boat has always been a challenge for Kiwi anglers. Space is limited, the boat is constantly moving, and traditional storage options often mean rods end up damaged, tangled, or simply hard to reach. That’s where Ultimate Rod Racks comes in — delivering purpose-built storage systems that keep your gear safe, accessible, and your boat looking sharp.
Why Ultimate Rod Racks Work Perfectly on Fibreglass Boats
Unlike rocket launchers or makeshift holders, the Ultimate Rod Rack system is designed specifically for boats like Tristram, Haines Hunter, and Rayglass. These boats are prized for their quality and finish, so the last thing you want is a storage solution that risks scratching or damaging the gel coat.
Our racks lock cleanly into the existing rod pockets, meaning no drilling, no rattling, and no risk of damage. From compact 3-rod racks to 5-rod setups, you’ll always have the right system for your space — without having to climb outside the boat in rough seas to grab a rod.
👉 Important Note for Fibreglass Boats:
We recommend using a maximum of 5 rod holders on fibreglass models to keep weight balanced and protect your boat’s structure. For heavier setups, our Big Foot system is the practical solution — it carries the load directly on the floor of your boat, ensuring maximum stability and safety.
The New Hybrid Series – Game-Changer for Fibreglass Boats
The Hybrid backframe models are our latest innovation, designed with fibreglass boat owners in mind. By combining the proven strength of our aluminum frame with a smart drop-down profile, the Hybrid allows rods to sit lower and closer to the deck.
For Tristram, Haines Hunter, and Rayglass owners, this means:
-
Safer access – no overreaching for gear.
-
Cleaner fit – engineered to sit perfectly in both straight and angled rod pockets.
-
Maximum versatility – swap racks in and out without tools, and even use them at home with wall mounts for storage.
The Hybrid series is built tough for offshore conditions, yet refined enough to complement the sleek lines of your fibreglass boat.
Built to Last, Designed to Impress
Every Ultimate Rod Rack is crafted from high-quality materials, finished with precision, and powder-coated for durability. All exposed edges are burnished to ensure there are no sharp corners that could harm knees, kids, or deck surfaces. The result is a strong, safe, and stylish storage system that looks like it was built for your boat.
