Purpose-Built for Heavy Tackle. Designed for Modern Boats.
Modern trailer boats have never been better.
Larger hardtops, extended roofs, clears and sun protection have made boating more comfortable than ever before—but they've also made one traditional storage solution increasingly difficult to use.
Let's be honest...
Lifting a heavy bent butt game rod or electric reel into an overhead rocket launcher isn't easy. Add clears or an extended roof, and accessing those rod holders can quickly become awkward, particularly when you're underway or trying to clear the cockpit in a hurry.
The GAME SERIES™ was developed to solve that problem.
Rather than storing heavy tackle overhead, the GAME SERIES™ keeps your rods upright, secure and within easy reach inside the cockpit—while preserving as much valuable fishing and boating space as possible.
Your rods stay protected.
Your cockpit stays clear.
Your gear is always ready to fish.
Built Around the Way You Fish
The GAME SERIES™ has been purpose-built for anglers running:
Unlike simply adapting an everyday rod rack for larger equipment, the GAME SERIES™ has been engineered specifically around the size, weight and handling requirements of serious offshore tackle.
Flexible Rod Holder Configurations
Every angler fishes differently.
That's why the GAME SERIES™ supports multiple rod holder configurations.
Standard 3+2 Configuration
Perfect for anglers carrying dedicated game outfits alongside conventional fishing rods.
Wide-Spacing Configuration
Designed to maximise clearance between larger overhead and electric reels.
As your fishing evolves, rod holder layouts can be updated without replacing the complete rack.
Engineered as a Complete System
The GAME SERIES™ combines our proprietary aluminium rack design with carefully selected, industry-proven components to create a rod storage system engineered for New Zealand offshore fishing.
Built around our proven GunnelCore™ mounting system, every rack is designed to provide:
-
Secure, upright rod storage
-
Excellent reel clearance
-
Marine-grade aluminium construction
-
Marine-grade EVA protection as standard
-
Powder-coated durability
-
Clean, professional installation
-
Long-term adaptability if your boat changes
Rather than relying on one component, the strength of the GAME SERIES™ comes from how the complete system works together.
Designed for In-Boat Performance
Every GAME SERIES™ has been engineered with one priority:
Keep heavy tackle secure while leaving the cockpit free for fishing.
By storing rods upright against the side of the boat, the GAME SERIES™ reduces clutter, protects valuable equipment and keeps rods within easy reach without taking up valuable deck space.
Whether you're travelling offshore, setting a spread or fighting fish, your equipment remains organised, accessible and out of the way.
